It is the oldest way to bring all the female group in the house together at a place to put the lentil dumplings in a mat/cloth/ aluminium utensils under the sunlight. Usually, the terrace or the big verandah is chosen where women make a big circle and they gossip to the fullest while putting the dumplings/small balls.
