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