Chawal aur urad dal ko alag-alag bowls mein dho kar pani mein 4-5 ghante ke liye bhigokar rakh dein.

Bhigoye hue chawal ko mixer grinder mein daal kar pani ke saath smooth paste bana lein.

Ab bhigoye hue urad dal aur methi dana ko bhi mixer grinder mein daal kar pani ke saath smooth paste bana lein.
