INGREDIENTS

500 gm pureed jackfruit, 2 teaspoon cashews, 1 cup grated coconut, 2 cup coconut milk, 2 cup powdered jaggery, 1/2 teaspoon green cardamom, 2 teaspoon ghee

Method

–              To prepare this delicious payasam recipe, put a deep-bottomed pan on medium flame and melt ghee in it. When the ghee is hot enough, add the cashew nuts and roast them. Once done, transfer to a bowl and keep aside. Add the grated coconut in the same pan and lower the flame, dry roast till golden brown in colour.

–              Now, add the pureed jackfruit in the pan along with jaggery powder and roasted cashews, and cook for about 10 minutes. Make sure that the mixture is thickened. (Note: You can also use the pulp of the jackfruit.)

–              When the jackfruit mixture is thickened, add the coconut milk along with cardamom powder and stir continuously. Stop in between and bring the milk to a boil. Let the milk and jackfruit mixture simmer for another 10 minutes.

–              Once cooked, turn off the flame and garnish with mixed dry fruits.
