Notes

• You can also cook the rice mixture first and while serving, make a dent and put the grated jaggery in the center, Pour Sesame oil in top of it. Jaggery will get melted in the hot Kali. Start taking kali  from the outer circle and eat along with the melted jaggery soaked in a sesame oil.  It will taste Yummy.
• Strongly recommend to make it as a breakfast at least once in a week during summer.
• Ensure that the entire process is done in low flame else the mixture will form lumps.
