In a thick-bottomed pan, melt jaggery with a little water. Strain the jaggery syrup to remove any impurities.- 4
Add the cooked (or raw, if using koozha chakka) jackfruit to the jaggery syrup and mix well.- 5
Stir continuously and cook until the mixture starts to thicken and the water content begins to disappear.- 6
Gradually add ghee, a little at a time, while stirring continuously.- 7
Continue cooking until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and completely free of moisture.- 8
Turn off the flame and let it cool completely.- 9
Store in an airtight container.NoteChakka varattiyathu will last longer if there is no water left in the final mix.
