2. Roast seeds and dry fruits separately one after the other. Because seeds take lesser time to roast than dry fruits. If you heat all these together, there can be a chance of burning of seeds.
3. Turn off the flame and let it cool down for 10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Transfer the roasted ingredients in a mixer jar to grind.
