How to Make Cardamom Scented Chakka Pradhaman

• Chop the jack fruit and puree it into a fine paste.
• In a pan take a tsp of ghee and pour in the jack fruit paste. Add a little water if the puree is too thick.
• Allow this to cook on medium flame for around ten minutes.
• In a vessel, boil the jaggery with 1/4 cup of water till it melts.
• Once done, filter it to remove impurities, and transfer the syrup to the cooked jack fruit pulp.
• Stir and boil on medium flame for ten more minutes.
• Now reduce the flame to low and add the coconut milk. Whisk well to blend everything and switch off the flame.
• Do not let it boil after the coconut milk is added as it will start separating.
• Now add the cardamom powder to the pradhaman.
• Separately, fry cashews and coconut pieces in ghee until golden brown.
• Add them to the pradhaman as garnish.
