In the video, we see people who seem to make lentil sacks from scratch at one outer place. According to the caption, the location is Nehati. They transfer large amounts of ground dal paste to a large container fixed with mechanic mixers. The paste is thus churned with a little water to make a smooth batsman. In small amounts, the batsman is later filled in a special mold. Its lower layer has a hole/nozzle and a pressure plate at the top, allowing generation of the batsman’s small cutting -shaped volume. As the video proceeds, we see a woman to fill the big tray with raw lentil sack pieces using this device. She is pressing when repeated on the mold, in a speed that practices well.
