Chakka Pradhaman / Jackfruit Payasam!

Chakka Pradhaman / Jackfruit Payasam!
Chakka Pradhaman, is prepared by Chakkavarathi which is nothing but Jackfruit jam or halwa, prepared using jaggery. With Chakkavarathi, we can prepare, recipes such as; Elaadai, chakka Pradhaman and many more.
First will see how to prepare Chakkavarathi, then will prepare Pradhaman. I have given ingredients for Chakkavarathi and Pradhaman together.

Ingredients:
Jackfruit - 10 - 15 bulbs
Jaggery - 200 grms
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Coconut milk - 1st, 2nd & 3rd milk (each one cup)
Dry ginger powder - 1 tsp
  Or
Cardoman powder - 1/2 tsp
Fine bits of coconut pieces - 2 tablespoons
Method:
# Need to remove seeds from Jackfruits.
# Dissolve jaggery in 1/2 cup of water and filter it.
# Chop Jackfruit bulbs in pieces, and allow it to cook with jaggery syrup.
# Once cooked, allow it to cool.
# Put the pieces in Mixie and grind into fine paste.
# Heat a heavy bottom pan, add 1/2 of the ghee, add Jackfruit paste.
# Keep the flame in medium, and stir well.
In 15-20 min, it will be cooked well.
It depends upon the quantity you prepare.
# Inbetween add ghee and stir well.
# Once the ghee ooze out, your Chakkavarathi us ready.
# For Pradhaman, add 1 cup of hot water, and the jaggery syrup, with the Chakkavarathi and leave it for 1/2hr.
# Switch on the stove, allow it to boil in medium flame, add 3rd coconut milk.
# With in 5 min​ add 2nd coconut milk and stir.
# Once it comes to Payasam consistency, switch off the stove.
#Add dry ginger powder, and 1st coconut milk mix well.
# Fry the coconut bits in ghee and serve.
Chakkavarathi can be prepared, and kept in an airtight container, in refrigerator for 2-3 months. You can fry cashews and raisins in ghee and pour in Pradhaman, but I always fry bits of coconut pieces as it gives nice crunch and flavour to any Pradhaman.
