Notes
- Use medium heat while roasting the sesame and spices.
- Keep a close eye on the sesame seeds because they can burn quickly.
- Let all roasted ingredients cool before grinding.
- Adjust salt according to the amount of cooked rice.
- Gingelly oil adds the best traditional aroma, but the quantity can be adjusted to personal preference.
- For a softer rice texture, use freshly cooked rice that has cooled slightly before mixing.
