Ingredients

  • 20 Jackfruit
  • 1.5 cups Jaggery

  • ¾ cup Thin coconut milk
  • ½ tsp Cardamom powder
  • ½ cup Thick coconut milk

Instructions 

  • Remove the seed from the Jackfruit arils. In a pressure cooker add the jackfruit arils after removing the seed add in little water and pressure cook for 2 whistles.

  • In another saucepan add the jaggery pieces and water. Cook in a low flame till the jaggery is completely dissolved. Strain for impurities and continue cooking till it becomes slightly thick. Now add in the ground jackfruit puree and mix well till it is completely dissolved.
  • Next, add the thin coconut milk and cook for 5 mins.
  • Next, add the crushed cardamom or cardamom powder.
  • And then add in the roasted nuts and mix well and finally add in the thick coconut milk and switch off the flame.

Notes

  •       Serve as an after meal dessert.
  •  If you feel the kheer is very thin, make a slurry 1 tsp rice flour and 2 tbsp  water and add to thick the kheer.
  •  Prepare it when the jackfruit is in season.
  •  Adjust the sweetness as per your taste.
  •  I used impurities free organic jaggery and hence I dint strain for impurities. It is a must if using normal jaggery.
