- 6-8 jackfruit pieces
- 2 cup water approx.
- ¾ cup jaggery
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- 2 cups thick coconut milk
- 2 tsp ghee
- 1 tbsp coconut pieces

Preparation:
- Take out the seed and extra fiber strands from the jackfruit pieces, make a coarse paste and keep aside. You can either crush or coarse paste the jackfruit pieces.
- Heat ghee in a tadka pan, add coconut pieces and cashew pieces to golden brown color. Keep aside these along with the ghee.
- In another pan, take jaggery pieces with some water and heat, just to dissolve the jaggery. No need to make a syrup with any specific consistency. At the same time, if you have clean jaggery powder use directly in the pradhaman.

- Mix well and let the jaggery blend with the fruit mix for 2 mins.
- Put some cardamom powder.
- Now add the fried coconut and cashew nut pieces.
- Finally, add thick coconut milk, give a quick stir and switch off. Do not cook after adding the coconut milk.
