(If you have roasted rice flour you can use that also. but mix the batter with hot water and hot melted jaggery)  Mix maida ,melted and strained jaggery to the flour and make a batter of pouring consistency. Keep this batter overnight. Morning, Add cleaned til, cardamom powder and dried coconut and mix well. 

In a kadai pour coconut oil. When oil is heated pour one spoon full of batter to the oil. keep fire in medium flame. when the appam is getting cooked, with the spoon push oil onto the appam. When we do this neyyappam bulges out.

when done, turn the appam to other side. 

When both sides are cooked well remove from oil.

With this measurement we can make upto 18 Neyappams.
