Chakka Pradhaman is a traditional dessert of Kerala, India made with Jackfruit cooked in coconut milk. It is usually made with Chakka Varatti which is a thick jam made with jackfruit and jaggery.Â
I have shared a detailed recipe to make Chakka Varatti with Video:
I remember how my mother used to make it using coconut milk. Chakka Pradhaman is made with coconut milk. You can easily make coconut milk at home. Watch the following video for the same:
I have seen many people using dairy milk also to make chakka pradhaman but that’s not the traditional way to making it. I simply love this Chakka payasam. It is even made for Vishu and Onam festival in Kerala. I’m sharing a detailed recipe with you all and hope you all try it out too.
