- If you ferment you may use the remaining batter for making dosa
- Once the grinding is complete, add rava and make the batter thick enough to dip the dry fruit balls
- The next step is to make the stuffing
- Dry roast the nuts until the raw smell leaves and grind it in a mixer
- Add ghee, dry fruits and give it a good mix
- After 3 minutes, add elachi and cook until they form a sticky consistency
- Sprinkle water if needed
- Water is surely needed if you are using raisins

- Switch off the gas
- Grease ghee in your palms and make the mix as round balls
- This needs to be done when the mix is hot else we cannot bind them together
