1.If it starts stick to the bottom of the vessel, slower the flame further and add 1 tsp of oil further to this mixer.
2.Make sure the paste should not go darker in color or burnt in the bottom, this will bring bitter taste to the rice. This can be overcome by stirring it occasionally and maintaining the flame and by adding little oil.
3.drizzle of Gingelly Oil can bring down the strong flavor, if you feel it is too strong.
