Jackfruit payasam as the name insists jackfruit is the main ingredient in the recipe, chopped jackfruit is cooked in ghee and coconut milk and sweetened jaggery is added to it. In south Indian cuisine there are lots of payasam recipe. There are so many recipes using this jackfruits. Earlier I posted jackfruit appam and jack fruit cake in the blog, similarly there are many recipes like chakka varati (jackfruit halwa), chips and many.
To get the right consistency and good taste the main thing is to cook jackfruit and jaggery for long time till it turns to a jam like thick consistency.
Many people make chakka varati first and then use that to make make the payasam but i made it from the fresh jackfruit pulp. This recipe is so easy to make and requires only few ingredients. Traditionally jaggery is used to make this jackfruit payasam but you can make with sugar also however taste may slightly differ.
