Notes

  • Rinse horsegram and let it dry then start the process.
  • Make sure you cool down completely before you grind it.Also after grinding let it cool down before you  store.
  • Keeps well for about 2 months in room temperature itself.
  • I used my dry mixer for grinding at home. If you are making in bulk then you can choose to give it in mill for grinding.
