Kerala Chakka Varattiyathu

Cut jackfruit into small pieces.

Cook in a pressure cooker with one cup of water. Allow it to cook for 6-8 whistles.

Either ground this cooked jackfruit in a mixer grinder or transfer this to a wide necked vessel like `urali` and allow all the water to disappear stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, cook the jaggery with one cup of water and make a thick syrup.

Pour this to the cooked jackfruit and stir continuously till it becomes thick.

Add ghee little by little.

Also add the dried ginger powder and cardamom powder.

:- When you think this is sticking to the bottom of the pan, add more ghee.

Now when this starts to form a ball, stir for 1 more minute and remove from fire.

Cool and store in an air tight container.
