Ingredients

• 1 Cup Raw Rice 1 Cup = 250 ml
• ¾ Cup Grated Jaggery
• ¾ Cup Jackfruit Chopped
• a Pinch Cardamom Powder
• a Pinch Baking Soda
• ¼ Cup Ghee For Cooking Appam

Instructions

Soaking

• Wash the rice thoroughly and add fresh water and soak it for an hour

Grinding

• After 1 hour, drain water from the soaked rice. Take the soaked rice in a mixer jar and grind it to a smooth paste without adding water. If the grinder/mixer is not grinding properly then sprinkle little water only if needed.
• To the ground rice batter, add chopped jackfruit and grind it again. Take this rice + Jackfruit batter in a mixing bowl

Jaggery Juice Preparation

• Take jaggery in a sauce pan. Add water just to soak the jaggery and bring it to boil
• Melt the jaggery completely and switch off the flame

Preparing Appam Batter

• Strain the jaggery juice and add it to the mixing bowl which has the rice batter. Give a good mix
• Add cardamom powder and baking soda and mix well. Now our Jackfruit Appam Batter is ready!

Making Appam

• Keep the nappam pan in the flame and add little ghee to each kuzhi. When the pan is hot, take a small ladle and fill atleast 1/4th of each hole with the batter. 
• Let the Appam cook for a while and then when it turns golden brown color, remove the appam from the oil, and place it in a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat the above steps for the rest of the flour
• The yummy Chakka Nei Appam is ready for neivedhyam and for serving

Notes

1. We are adding Baking Soda to get fluffy and soft Appam. It's optional if you want to avoid Baking Soda
2. If you add Baking Soda, the batter needs to be consumed immediately. If you want to use part of the batter later, then you take a separate portion and add the backing soda only to the portion that you are going to consume now
3. Instead of ghee, you can fry the appam also in the cooking oil
