    Jaggery added to the movie in which we have just powdered til seeds. ? Or should we put in seperate contained all 3 powder and then mix at the end

    • No need to put it in separate containers. First powder Pottu kadalai and remove. Same mixie put the fried till and grind it. Add jaggery to the powdered til and run the mixie. Finally add the pottu kadalai powder and run the mixie for two to three rounds so that everything will blend in the mixie itself.
