Delicious kerala special Chakka pradhaman made with jackfruit preserve

Chakka pradhaman is my all time favorite dish. I love to make different varities of dishes with chakka varatti like kozhukkatta,ada,kheer etc… My mom gave one bottle full of chakka varatti when I came to bangalore after vacation. Usually we prepare this chakka pradhaman with chakka varatti( jackfruit preserve). You can also prepare chakka pradhaman with ripe jackfruit. But kheer made with chakka varatti will taste good than the ripe one. I used jaggery and coconut milk for preparing the kheer.Hope you will like this delicious chakka pradhaman
