 * ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ ಅಕ್ಕಿಯನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿ 

 * ಬಿಸಿಲು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಸಂಡಿಗೆ ಬಿರಿಯುತ್ತದೆ (ಒಡೆಯುತ್ತದೆ)

 * ಸಂಡಿಗೆಯು ಅರ್ಧ ಒಣಗಿದ ಕೂಡಲೇ, ತಿರುಗಿಸಿ ಹಾಕಬೇಡಿ, ಅದು ಬಾಡಿದಂತಾಗಿ ಅಕಾರ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ

 * ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಒಣಗಿದ ಸಂಡಿಗೆಯನ್ನು, ಗಾಳಿಯಾಡದ ಡಬ್ಬ ಅಥವಾ ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್ ತೊಟ್ಟೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಿ ತೆಗೆದಿಡಿ. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಬೇಗನೆ ಹಾಳಾಗುತ್ತದೆ
