Receta Chakka Puttu Recipe / Jackfruit Puttu
Chakka puttu recipe, how to make jackfruit puttu.
Chakka puttu or jackfruit puttu is a traditional breakfast from Kerala. Jackfruit or chakka is sliced and layered with puttu podi to make a healthy and filling breakfast.
Sometime back, I shared banana puttu recipe which is also a healthy breakfast, especially for kids.
Ripened jackfruits are sliced finely and mixed with coconut or you can sprinkle coconut over the fruit and topped with puttu podi (do check out this post on how to make easy puttu podi with left over rice).
My son, Cheriyan and Homey loves to have this for breakfast and during jackfruit season, I make this often, you do not need any other curry, the jackfruit will become soft after it is cooked and can mix into the puttu and have it.
I made in my chiratta puttu kutti, you can also make in the long kutti also. If you do not have puttu kutti or puttu maker, try using coconut shell to make DIY puttu kutti.
How to make chakka puttu, with step by step tutorial.
Chop the jacfruits after removing the seeds. I like to mix with freshly grated coconut or you can sprinkle coconut on top of the fruit.
Add in the 2 tbsp chopped jackfruit mixed with coconut in the puttu mould/maker and top with puttu podi.
Place it on the hob of the pressure cooker and let it steam for 3 mins on medium flame. Invert to a plate and serve immediately.

Chop jackfruits and mix with coconut or you can also avoid mixing in coconut; its just a personal choice.
If not mixing with coconut; add in 1-2 tbsp of coconut on the puttu kutti and top with 2 tbsp of jackfruit and then top it with puttu podi. If, mixing with coconut, just add in the coconut mixed jackfruit (about 2 tbsp or more if you like jackfruits) and then top with puttu podi.
Place on the puttu kudam or on the hob of the pressure cooker (like I did here) and allow it to steam for 3 mins on medium flame.
Invert to a plate and serve.
NOTES
Chakka puttu is a healthy traditional kerala breakfast.
Once the jackfruit is cooked it will be come soft and mushy, hence it is easy to give to kids by mixing it into the puttu.
