Jackefruit Payasam RM # 2

I saw this recipe on a TV show and it came out really well.Here it is for you to try and taste.

You need:

Jackfruit,cut into small pieces -1 cup
Jaggery -1/2 a cup,powdered [or less]
Coconut-1/4 cup ,grated
Ghee-2 tablespoons
Cardamom-a pinch[optional,I didn’t use it.]
Coconut milk-1 cup ,thick
Fried cashews-to garnish

1.Grind together jaggery,coconut and cardamom.[Add a little warm water for grinding.]Keep aside.
2.Heat the ghee in a pan and cook the jackfruit pieces in the ghee till soft in medium flame.
3.Put in the ground jaggery-coconut mixture.
4.As the jaggery melts,the payasam will turn watery. Simmer for 10 minutes.
5.Add coconut milk and simmer till you get a semi solid consistency.
6.Remove from heat and garnish with fried cashew.

Serve hot or chilled.
