• 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.
