Notes:

• Here i used broken pearl millet, if you have whole pearl millet means don’t worry just taken in a mixer jar then pulse two times that’s it. Broken pearl millet is ready.
• Use fresh curd for good taste.
• Use spoon to take kambu sadam from cooker, because if we use hand means it may easily decompose soon, whole kambu sadam will be wasted, we couldn’t use for long time, so careful while handling this.
