Grind the rice into a flour like mixture, it will be a little coarse.
Melt the jaggery in 1/4 cup of water and keep aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground rice flour along with the cooked rice, jaggery water, baking powder, cardamom powder, lemon zest and baking powder.
Form a dough like consistency to make Ghila Pitha. The dough should not be too hard not too soft, just enough to hold and put in a kuzhi paniyaram pan.
Heat a Kuzhi Paniyaram pan and add a few drops of oil into each one of the cavities.
