Wash and soak rice for 2-3 hrs.
Drain the rice completely and grind it along with jaggery, coconut, banana and cardamom to a smooth batter.
No need to add any water while grinding.
Heat the appam pan. Mix oil and melted ghee and keep it ready ( ideally its fried in ghee only).
Add little oil and ghee mixture to all the moulds.
When it becomes hot, reduce the flame and add the batter till its 3/4th filled.

Gently turn the appam, add little more oil and ghee mixture and cook till the other side turns golden brown.
Serve the appam warm:)
