How to Prepare

Grate the jackfruit flesh and set aside.
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Add the grated jackfruit to the pan and sauté for 10 minutes until it softens.
Add sugar and stir continuously until it dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the milk and keep stirring to avoid lumps, cooking for another 10 minutes.
Add cardamom powder and chopped nuts, mix well, and cook until the mixture thickens to a halwa consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
