The  main ingredients used for its preparation are :Maida,sugar and obviously coconut as Konkani cuisines are incomplete without the essence of coconut.

It's preparation includes sun-drying of roti made from maida which usually takes 3-4 hrs followed by cutting the chapati into thin small slices , then boiling the pieces and straining it completely.

Finally the main step is to add some oil, put fresh grated coconut , sugar and lastly the strained katri.

The main reason of it's disappearance is the involvement of drying  katri which takes more time than usual for its preparation.And in today's world everyone is running to save time . Everybody  is looking  for getting hold of instant food recipes.
