Allow it to cool and grind it in a mixer grinder to make it into a paste.

Take a seva nazhi and put a portion of this mixture into it.
Press the handle to let the mixture come down in the shape of a murukku onto a plastic paper or a plantain leaf(vazha ela).

Instead of Jeera, Ayamodaka only a pinch is better for kerala style. It is good for digestion also.
