jaggery is mixed with ripe bananas and elachi powder to a semisolid paste and poured in a
moulded vessel containing boiling coconut oil.Half moon shaped sweet appams are prepared
and served with flowers,incent sticks in a banana leaf.Gingelly oil is normally used to light the lamps.After the puja uncle and aunty used to carry the appam prasadam.On her way back she used to divide the appams to very small pieces and distribute among the people and small children who were waiting near their parked car .
