Soft, golden brown halwa made from jackfruit and jaggery . Jackfruit has a captivating taste and flavour.... which makes the halwa simply delicious!!!

Ingredients

Diced jackfruit 1cup

Jaggery 3/4 cup

Ghee 3 tbsp

Melon seeds 1 tsp

Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp

Water 1/4 cup

Milk 2tbsp

Method

Boil and dice riped jackfruit,cook in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles and keep aside.

Boiled jackfruit pieces

Heat a pan, add Jaggery and water and simmer until Jaggery dissolves completely.strain the melted Jaggery to remove any impurities.

Note that the color of the halwa depends on the Jaggery used,here I have used organic jaggery, hence the hue is dark brown.

Adjust the amount of jaggery depending on the sweetness of the fruit.

Add the jackfruit to the Jaggery and cook till water completely evaporates, then add milk and cook till milk is completely absorbed.

Add ghee and cook few more minutes till ghee seperates and halwa leaves the sides of the pan.

Garnish with melon seeds and savour the JACKFRUIT HALWA!!!
