This Jack fruit payasam or Jack fruit kheer is a new dish for me, which I got from here. It was really quick, easy and tastes wonderful. I just loved the taste.  I just used the same recipe, with little change of adding fried cashews, jack fruit and raisins, as I loved the crunchiness of the jack fruit and the cashews. Here we go for the recipe - Jack fruit payasam.

Ingredients

• Jackfruits (ripe) - 6
• Milk - 2 cups
• Coconut Milk - 1/4 cup
• Grated Coconut - 2 tsp
• Sugar - 1/4 cup (Increased or decreased as needed)
• Cardamom - 2 to 3 (crushed)
• Cashews - 10 to 15
• Saffron - a pinch

Method

• Soak cashews for 10 min in warm milk.
• Cut the jackfruit and cook in little water.
• Take one jackfruit and cut into small pieces which is used later.
• Now grind the remaining jackfruit in little milk and make into a smooth paste and keep aside.
• Now in the same mixie, add the soaked cashews and grated coconut and little milk and grind to smooth paste.
• Now in a heavy pan, add cashew coconut paste, jackfruit paste, sugar, coconut milk and remaining milk and allow to boil.
• Meanwhile, fry the 1 tsp cashews and raisins in ghee and transfer to the boiling payasam.
