10. Stir the tempering over the Mappillai samba rice kanji which has been ready.
11. Serve topped with coriander leaves.

Tips:

1. Silt pots are used for yeast since, as per science, they give micro-oxygenation, and also enzyme reactions produce distinct flavours. If you don't have a cooking pot, you can replace a steel vessel; even so, a clay pot is favoured.
2. Brewed rice must be extensively squished; either press with extra care, use a fork or meld in a mixture.
3. Use slightly bitter curds to add the flavour of rice kanji.
4. Coconut oil brings a lot of flavours and tastes delicious.
5. You can choose any form of boiled rice, but the remaining rice works the best.
