Notes
For sprouting black eyed beans soak the beans in water overnight.
Drain the water and pack them in a muslin cloth or in a hot box and leave them undisturbed for 12 hours. Now they would have sprouted.
After grinding into a coarse paste if the paste is too watery add in some gram flour to make them thick.
