1. Balancing Taste (Sweet Bitter Astringent) spices should be more than Aggravating Taste (Sour Salty and Pungent) spices
2. Salt and Sugar both draw moisture from atmosphere. The mixture will turn clumpy or soggy. Therefore, the mixture should be stored in a air-tight jar.
3. Traditionally, one would use Mulathi (Liquorice) in India as a base. Mulathi is sweet and pungent. In United States, Mulathi is not readily available. It is substituted with Anise seeds or Fennel seeds. Anise and Fennel are comparatively not very sweet.
