  1. If you have block of jaggery, first grate it, and take measurement according and after roasting the flour, switch of the flame, and immediately add into mixture so it mixes well with flour, and you cannot found small chunks of jaggery in sukhdi
  2. If you have organic jaggery that comes in lumpy form while you buy from market, after roasting the flour, switch of the flame, wait for 2-3 minutes.
