Grind the Chakkachulakal in a mixer along with Jaggery syrup (if required some water also can be added in this paste at the time of grinding) and keep this paste aside
Also grind the soaked rice along with some water and add this paste into the ground Chakkachula paste.
Add the Copra(dried Coconut) pieces into this mix, stir the mix well and keep it aside for about 30 minutes. (If required about 1/8 tsp of Cardamom powder for getting good flavour and taste).
Heat the Oil/Ghee in an Appachatti/Appakkaara (as shown in above picture) and put one middle size spoonful paste in each chamber of the Appachatti/Appakkaara and allow to cook properly in the Oil/Ghee.
When one side of the Appam is cooked well, turn it to other side and allow to cook the other side also in the Oil/Ghee.
When the colour of the Appam(s) turns into golden, take them out by using a small sieve and keep them in a plate.
