You would need a Dehydrating machine to dehydrate (drying the moisture) ingredients. We do not prefer sun drying as sun drying kills 50% of the nutrition value and changes taste. Dust can also sit on the grains if they are kept out for sun drying. If you do not have a dehydrating machine you can get it from online stores like amazon.

Method to prepare the mix:

• 1. Throughly wash black urad dal, soya, finger millet, and soak them separately over night.
• 2. Next morning, wash barley.
• 3. Put all the Ingredients in dehydrator for about 4 to 5 hours at 55ºC.
• 4. Dry roast all the ingredients separately in a pan (do not mix the ingredients and roast, as the roasting temperature of all the ingredients are different).
• 5. Let it come down to room temperature.
• 6. Grind the mixture into a fine powder using a grinder.
• 7. Sieve the coarse particles to get a fine powder.
• Store it in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. It can be stored at room temperature for even upto 4 months, if followed the directions correctly.

Serving instructions:

• 1. Add 3 tablespoon of the mixture to a pan. Add 2 cups of water and boil it.
• 2. Mix it till there are no lumps. Let it boil till you get the desired consistency.
• 3. Vegetable purees or fruit purees must be added for taste enhancement.
• 4. Serve it lukewarm.
• 5. Use the mixture within 30 mins of preparation.
