Once all ingredients mixed together, grind it to a fine paste. Finally, add jaggery and a pulse or two. Note: Do not grind it more as the jaggery will dilute the appam batter. Take Appakarai, that is a non-stick Appam pan. This pan will make baking easier. Keep the nonstick appam pan in the flame and add little ghee to each Kuzhi (i.e. the mould). When the pan is hot, take a small ladle and fill 3/4th of each hole with the batter. Let the Appam cook for a while.
