3. Finally, we add the yaji. My yaji has some dried beef ground together and I love the flavour. You can add any dried chilli powder to your tolerance. I make for kids so we go for just 1 to 2 teaspoons of yaji (Dried chillies powder). Add the chilli powder and mix well before gradually dropping in warm water while mixing.
