Chakkapazham (Jackfruit) Varattiyathu

Ingredients:

• Jackfruit 1 
• Jaggery 1/2 kg
• Cardamom pdr 1 Tbsp
• Rice 1/2 cup
• Ghee as rqd

Add a little water into the jaggery and melt it. Sieve it and keep it aside. Fry the rice well in a kadai or cheenachatti till they start splitting. Make the rice into fine powder. Cut the jackfruit into small pieces and cook it well using little water. Then transfer it into a uruli (heavy bottomed vessel) and pour the melted jaggery and stir it well in high flame. When it is devoid of water and the jackfruit turns thick, reduce the heat and pour little ghee, powdered cardamom and roasted rice pdr. Stir it continously and add ghee little by little and stop when it no longer sticks to the vessel. Transfer it into a greased plate and flatten it. Allow it to cool and cut it.
