Chakka Varattiyathu Recipe

This halwa is one of my all time favourite. But we don't make this often, because we dont have jackfruit tree in our home. But my aunt has that in her house, so whenever there is a ripe fruit in that tree, she sent half of that large fruit to our home. Most of the time we eat it as it is, if the fruits are too sweet. But sometimes the fruit wont be that sweet, so it need some help and it would be transformed into this or payasam.

About Chakka Varatti Recipe

Chakkavaratty, Chakka Varattiyathu, Jackfruit Preserves, Chakka Varatti or Jackfruit Halwa is a jackfruit-based food. The fruit is peeled and cut into small pieces after the seeds have been removed. The fruit is then cooked with ghee and jaggery until it has the consistency of a paste or jam.

Chakka Varatti sweet is pretty easy to make, each people have their own way of making it. My aunt used to chop the fruit finely and cook them in jaggery syrup and make this. But i find that very time consuming, because you have to spend quite a long time separating the fruits from the rough jack fruit. So this is how i do it. It is easy and and delicious.

Ingredients for Chakka Varattiyathu Recipe (Jackfruit Preserves)

• Jackfruit / Chakka - 6 cups
• Jaggery - 1.5 cups grated
• Ghee - 4 to 5 tbsp
• Water - 1.5 cup

Jackfruit / Chakka :

When you get to the inside, it has the texture of shredded meat—ripe jackfruit has a surprisingly sweet flavour that tastes like a combination of mango, pineapple, and banana, or exactly like Juicy Fruit gum.

Jaggery :

Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names, including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil.

Ghee :

Ghee tends to be one of those hyperbole-inducing foods, like macarons and gelato, that people describe quite dramatically as being heavenly or the best thing ever. In actuality, ghee tastes like a cleaner, richer, more decadent version of butter itself.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
