Ingredients
- 12 jack fruit ripe pieces
- 1/2 cup jaggery
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup thick coconut milk
- 3 teaspoon ghee
- 3 teaspoon cashew nuts broken
- 1 tablespoon coconut bits
- a pinch cardamom powder
Instructions
- Pressure cook jackfruit with immersing level water (keep it less say 2 tablespoon) up to 2 whistles in medium flame or until soft.
- Cool it down, drain water then grind to a fine paste, set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon ghee in a pan and add coconut bits and cashews, fry till golden brown, set aside.
- Mix jaggery with 1/4 cup water and break the lumps formed, strain(to remove impurities)and heat it up for 5mins until it bubbles(syrup consistency need not be checked).
- Add the jackfruit paste and mix until is evenly coated with jaggery.
- Let it become little thick, add remaining ghee then add coconut milk and give a quick stir. Dont let it boil for long after coconut milk is added as it will start to separate.
- So when it is about to boil switch if off and then add fried cashews, coconut bits, cardamom powder and give a stir.
- I reserved few cashews and coconut bits for garnishing while serving.
- Serve Chakka Pradhaman warm or cold with nuts and coconut bits. I love it cold!
Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with dairy milk or use half and half too but coconut milk gives a unique flavour to this pradhaman.
- Coconut bits gives a nice crunchiness to the pradhaman.
- Take care not to boil after coconut milk is added as the pradhaman will start to separate.
- Add more ghee (say 1 tablespoon) if you prefer a rich pradhaman.
