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.
