Notes
- Adding cashews is optional. It is only going to enhance the taste. I generally roast the cashews in ghee and add.
- Depending on the sweetness of jackfruit, you can increase jaggery up to ¾ cup.
- Fresh or dry or frozen grated coconut can be added.
- You can even add finely chopped coconut bits for additional flavor.
- Please cook this in ghee to get that authentic taste.
