This sweet is pretty easy to make, each people have their own way of making it. My aunt used to chop the fruit finely and cook them in jaggery syrup and make this. But i find that very time consuming, because you have to spend quite a long time separating the fruits from the rough jack fruit. So this is how i do it. It is easy and and delicious.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Cooking Time : 1 hour
Makes : 2 cups
Ingredients:
Jackfruit / Chakka – 6 cups
Jaggery – 1.5 cups grated
Ghee – 4 to 5 tblspn
Water – 1.5 cup
Method:
Take jackfruit and 1 cup of water in a pressure cooker. Cover and pressure cook for 3 whistle, simmer the flame for 10 mins. Turn off the heat.
Now transfer this mix to a kadai.
Take jaggery and 1/2 cup of water in a sauce pan, heat so the jaggery is melted. Strain this and add to the jackfruit mix.
Now heat this on high heat and let the mixture gets thick.
Keep cooking them and keep stiring, it will get dark in colour and very thick.
Add ghee at this point and keep mixing them,
At a stage it will leave the sides of the kadai like a halwa.
Turn off the heat and let it cool.
Serve.
Notes:
1)This will keep good for more than a month in fridge.

Mouth watering..I love chakka varatiyathu
Lovely… Pass this plate of halwa to me…
We had a jackfruit that was not very ripe but we had to cut it as it was getting spoilt. Bit of googling got me to your site. I followed your instructions and made this halwa. It does not have the same colour as yours but it is extremely tasty. Actually, I am not sure how this is supposed to taste because we never had it before. In any case, scored lots of brownie points from wife☺. Thanks a lot for the recipe. I will come back to look for more.
