Solution
The brothers bought the following things from the market:
- Mat made from palm leaves, casuarinas poles, string made of coconut husk, jaggery, and sugar.
- They made a platform from casuarinas poles and mats.
- Mango juice was taken out and filtered through a fine cloth to remove fibres.
- A thin layer of juice was spread on the mat and left to dry
- In the evening the layer was covered with a sari to prevent dust from getting on it.
- Every day, layer upon layer was added.
- After about four weeks a thick golden cake of mamidi tandra could be made.
