                                 Keep on slow fire, and roast evenly. Now it is half done

                                                       Getting roasted beautifully

Variation

Some people add tamarind juice, but I don't like it, and don't do it too. I feel, it makes the Senai soggy, and prevents it from getting crunchy and crispy.
