To make it, the rice is first soaked in water for at least 4-5 hours or all night. Later, they are taken out of the water and the light coarsely is grounded. It is mixed well by adding sugar, melted ghee and spices. A thick butter is prepared with the help of water or milk.
According to Kiran Thapa, now ghee or oil is heated in a deep pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, with the help of a small pot, the solution is put in a thin edge and rotating it in a hot oil. A heavy pot is placed in the middle of it so that the cell can take the shape of the ring.
