After few mins of grinding,  take ¼ cup of batter and add 1 cup water in it and keep aside. Add  grated coconut into the remaining rice batter  grind  again into a fine paste. Heat a sauce pan and add the ¼ cup batter  mixed with 1cup of water (taken from the batter before adding the coconut)  and  boil by stirring continuously in low flame. When the mixture changes to a thick paste, turn off the flame and allow it to cool . Add the thick paste into the smooth batter  and add the fermented yeast mix .
