3. When it is dry then sprinkle turmeric powder,and mix well with hands.
4. Heat a wok now we will roast some ingredients : chana daal,Fenugreek seeds,Fennel seeds/ saunf,Mustard seeds/raai,yellow mustard seeds.Roast them separately and till light brown.
5. Keep about 4-5 tbsp of yellow mustard seeds in a bowl separately.
