Jackfruit payasam recipe | chakka payasam | jackfruit kheer | palapazha payasam recipe with step-by-step pictures.
Jackfruit | palapazham is loved by many people. We don’t get the Indian variety of the sweetest jackfruit in Singapore | Hongkong. The Malaysian variety | Vietnam one tastes good but nothing can beat out Indian jackfruit.
We usually eat jackfruit as it is, but amma makes payasam if we have excess jackfruit at home. I have posted chakka varati recipe also in my blog. It is basically a jackfruit preserve, which we can make and store for a year.
When I found fresh ripe jackfruit in the market I thought I will make the jackfruit kheer | payasam. This is a very simple Kerala-style payasam made using jackfruit, jaggery, and coconut milk. If you omit ghee in this recipe, this is a vegan payasam recipe.

Jackfruit payasam recipe
Ingredients
- 10-15 ripe jackfruit
- ½ cup powdered jaggery
- ½ cup thick coconut milk
- 1 tbsp coconut bits
- Few cashew nuts
- 1 cup water to cook the jackfruit
- 4 tsp ghee
Instructions
- In a pan add ghee and roast the coconut bits and cashew nuts separately and keep it aside.
- Take out the seeds from jackfruit and saute this in the same pan for 2 minutes.
- Take it out and and add 1 cup of water to this. Pressure cook for 2-3 whisltes.
- Cool and grind this into a puree.
- Add this puree to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
- Now add the powdered jaggery.
- I used organic jaggery and so I added it directly. You can boil the jaggery in ¼ cup of water and filter the impurities and add the jaggery water too.
- Mix well till the jaggery incorporates well.
- At this stage if needed add ¼ cup of water to adjust the consistency.
- Now add the thick coconut milk.
- I used store bought coconut milk.
- Mix well and cook for a minute.
- Switch off the flame and the roasted coconut and cashew nut
- Jackfruit payasam is ready.

- If you want cardamom powder, you can add ¼ tsp of it. I personally want the jackfruit flavour to be dominant, so didn’t add.
- Coconut milk can be replaced with normal milk, but i recommend the addition of coconut milk.
- If the consistency is too thick just add 1/2 cup of water after the addition of coconut milk.
- Adjust the level of jaggery according to the sweetness of the jackfruit.
- Jackfruit payasam | chakka payasam can be served chill or hot.
