Notes
If you want, you can omit dry coconut .This further increases shelf life . You can add at the time of making vangi bath.
You can also plus or minus the cloves and cinnamon quantity depending on your preference.
Make vangibath powder in small quantities, so you can retain its freshness and flavor.
You can store the vangibath powder for many months. It may, however, lose its flavor after about 2 months.
