Keep all the ingredients in separate plates under the heat of the sun for a whole day. Then fry each ingredient in a dry pan for a few minutes. There is no need to brown them.

For sprouting-

Ragi must be soaked in lots of water for 8 hours and then must be sprouted for 2 days.
Soya beans must be soaked for 30 hours and then sprouted for 3 days.
Chick peas must be soaked for 12 hours and sprouted for 2 days.
All these sprouts must be sun-dried well and then fried before pounding to a fine powder.
