Ingredients for Chakka Pradhaman

- Chana Dal / Kadalai Paruppu - ¾ cup

- Water - 3 cups + more as needed
- Cardamom Powder / Yelakai Podi - 1 tsp

This payasam is so easy to make, many people make chakka varatti first and then use that to make this.. But i just made this using jack fruits. The key for getting the perfect taste is to cook the jack fruit with jaggery for quite a long time, till it gets jam like. This gives you the perfect taste.

Hi Aarthi,
Wont the coconut milk curdle if we add it with jaggery?

@Anonymousno it wont, you shouldn't boil it after adding coconut milk. just simmer for a min and turn off the heat
