Note : Some tips to be aware of while making this Health Mix – Sathu Mavu porridge powder for babies and toddlers.

• Do not use any wet vessel or ladle
• Roast it on medium low flame to ensure it cooks well in and not just roasted outside.
• Observe the color change and do not over-roast it.
• If possible eat and try each ingredient after roasting, to check if its cooked properly. It should be easily bite-able, like roasted peanuts.
• Roasting each ingredient separately is better, to save time you can roast ingredients of same size together, as they would need equal heat and time to get roasted. Avoid this, if unsure.
• Sifting is very important to get rid of coarse or not grounded ingredients.
• To be stored in air-tight container, and can be refrigerated for longer use.
• Dry mixture could be taken to Flour Mill for fine grinding
• Wash the ingredients if necessary
• Cool the mixture completely before grinding.
• Fill half mixer jar and grind well.
