About Chakka Pradhaman

Chakka Pradhaman is a Kerala special payasam made for Onam in Sadya menu. Usually this chakka pradhaman is prepared using chakka varatti (jack fruit jam) but I’ve done this with fresh jackfruit as I didnt get chakka varatti here. Pradhaman basically is payasam prepared with coconut milk, except pradhamans like Palada Pradhaman which is made with dairy milk.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pressure cook jackfruit with immersing level water (keep it less say 2 tbsp) up to 2 whistles in medium flame or until soft.
  • Cool it down, drain water then grind to a fine paste, set aside.
  • Heat 1 tsp ghee in a pan and add coconut bits and cashews, fry till golden brown, set aside.
  • Mix jaggery with 1/4 cup water and break the lumps formed, strain(to remove impurities)and heat it up for 5mins until it bubbles(syrup consistency need not be checked).
  • Add the jackfruit paste and mix until is evenly coated with jaggery.
  • Let it become little thick, add remaining ghee then add coconut milk and give a quick stir. Dont let it boil for long after coconut milk is added as it will start to separate.
  • So when it is about to boil switch if off and then add fried cashews, coconut bits, cardamom powder and give a stir.
  • I reserved few cashews and coconut bits for garnishing while serving.
  • Serve Chakka Pradhaman warm or cold with nuts and coconut bits. I love it cold!

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut milk with dairy milk or use half and half too but coconut milk gives a unique flavour to this pradhaman.
  • Coconut bits gives a nice crunchiness to the pradhaman.
  • Take care not to boil after coconut milk is added as the pradhaman will start to separate.
  • Add more ghee (say 1 tbsp) if you prefer a rich pradhaman.
