Notes

  • you can add jackfruit chunks along with the chakka varatti
  • if you are unsure of the dust particles in jaggery, melt and add it separately. 
  • based on the sweetness of the chakka varatti adjust jaggery
  • need not cook after adding first coconut milk as it will curdle the payasam.
