Ingredients
Jack fruit (de seeded and cleaned) - 1.5cups (app.)
Jaggery-1/2cup (app. adjust according to the sweetness of the fruit)
Coconut milk - ~~1/2 cup ( I used coconut milk powder, hence it is 3 tablespoon powder + little less than 1/2cup Luke warm water )
Few Cashews
Few Coconut pieces
Ghee- 1 tablespoon
Method
Chop the jack fruit into small pieces.
Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a small pressure cooker. Roast the cashews and coconut pieces separately till they turn nice golden in colour and keep it aside.
Add the chopped jack fruit in the cooker and fry for 3-4 minutes.
Then add 1/2 cup of water, and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
Open the cooker, once it cooled down completely and mash the jack fruit.
In a separate sauce pan take the jaggery with little (less than 1/4 cup) water and heat it till the jageery melts down.
Strain the melted jaggery and add it with the jack fruit pulp. You can continue the process as such, but I felt the pulp has not mashed up properly, hence I transferred the content to the blender and blended it to a smooth paste. ( check photos 10 & 11)
Heat the jack fruit pulp + jaggery on low heat for 5 minutes and add the coconut milk. Mix it well and put off the heat after a couple of minutes.
Garnish with half of the roasted cashews and coconut pieces , reserve the rest for garnishing while serving.
Enjoy!~~~
When we bought the jack fruit for the 1st time here in a Chinese market, luckily we got a very sweet and ripped fruit. We just finished it off in a jiffy! ;)
Somehow I managed to finish it off ! Wish me luck, am going to the Market soon! ;) :)

Knowing how tasty those fruits are I'm sure the payasam turned out tasty. Back home, we had a big tree that yielded the sweetest jackfruits I have ever tasted (not boasting here). :D When we got lucky, we would get them before the 'anil' did. I did not know this fruit was popular to make various sweets of because we always had it as fruits. Then the seeds were used to make curry and poriyal.
ReplyDeleteIf I get the chance to get those fruits, I will surely try this and another jackfruit paniyaram (guliyappa) recipe I bookmarked from another blog. :)
