Kannan anna, first we make the chakka varatti.
CHAKKA VARATTI
Ingredients:
4 cups of chopped ripe jackfruit flesh
¼ cup water
2 cups of jiggery
Little water
1 cup ghee
¼ tsp cardamom powder
Method:
Pressure cook the jackfruit flesh with the water till it becomes soft.
Let it cool and grind it to a smooth paste in a blender.
Dissolve the jiggery in little water, heat up till all the jiggery is dissolved.
Filter and remove the impurities from the syrup.
Now add the syrup and the blended jackfruit flesh in a pot.
Cook on medium heat till the water content is reduced.
Keep on stirring, to avoid getting burnt.
Add the ghee little by little and the cardamom powder.
Continue to stir till you get a dark brown colour and thick jam.
Remove and allow to cool.

Then we make the Chakka Pradhaman.
CHAKKA PRADHAMAN
Ingredients:
1 cup chakka varatti
1 ½ cups thin coconut milk
½ cup jiggery, made into syrup (or as to taste )
Little cardamom powder
½ cup thick coconut milk
1 tbs ghee
5 cashew nuts broken into halves
10 raisins
2 tbs coconut sliced into small pieces
All roasted in the ghee.
Method:
In a thick bottomed pot, add in the chakka varatti, along with the thin coconut milk.
Keep stirring so that the chakka mixes with the coconut milk, and becomes liquid.
Add the jiggery syrup to this mixture and simmer until it turns thick.
Keep stirring continuously to make sure that the bottom is not burnt.
Now add in the cardamom powder, and the thick coconut milk.
Stir nicely, do not allow to boil. Remove from the stove.
Heat a pan with the ghee, add in the cashews, raisins, and the coconut pieces.
Roast till golden and add to the chakka pradhaman.
Serve and enjoy.

My great grandmother, used to have an earthen pot. She will pour the remainder kulambu into the chatty.
She will do that every day for a week, but will heat up the contents daily.
After a week, the whole mixed kulambu will be heated until it becomes thick, and oil separates from the kulambu.
The sunda kulambu will be served on steaming rice. The taste will be abaaram.
Nobody does that nowadays. They say bad for health.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
