<strong> </strong>Odiyal flour is used in making odiyal Kool and odiyal pittu. This flour has a bitter taste in it and older the flour more bitter it is. So the odiyal flour has to be prepared before it is used. Soak the flour in plain water for about 20 minutes and drain the water. Add fresh water and drain the water. Repeat this process at least three times to eliminate the bitterness. Finally squeeze the flour in thin strong cotton to eliminate the water totally. Now the flour is ready for use.</div>
