JACK FRUIT SEEDS PAYASAM
Ingredients:
- Jack fruit Seeds - 25 nos, washed and peeled quite well
- Grated coconut - 1 cup
- Water - 2 cups
- Jaggery - 200 gm melted in 100 ml water
- Ghee - 1 tbsp
- Cashews - 6-7
- Raisins - 6-7
- Pressure cook the jackfruit seeds in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water, just enough to cover them, till they become really soft. Switch off and allow the pressure to go by itself.
- Add the coconut and the remaining water into a mixer and blend well.
- Strain through a sieve and reserve the coconut milk. Throw away the residue of the coconut.
- Melt the jaggery in water and allow it to cool.
- Drain the cooked jackfruit seeds into a thick saucepan and nicely mash it till it represents a pulpy mess.
- Pour in the coconut milk and the melted jaggery and mix well. Switch on the flame and simmer for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to mingle in.
- Heat the ghee, fry the cashews and raisins. Pour into the payasam and serve
- The thickness of the Payasam will solely depend on the jack fruit.
- Adjust the coconut milk and the jaggery according to the consistency of the seeds and the sweetness required.
- You can keep the husk of the seeds or remove it completely.
- The mashing depends entirely on you. If you like to have bites, don't mash it to pulps, so that some bites may remain.
