Jackfruit Kheer / Palapazha Payasam is another delicious and flavourful payasam. It is a very good option to be served as an after meal dessert. This Kheer is prepared by sauting jackfruit chunks in Ghee and then cooked in reduced milk. This can also be replaced by coconut milk. Finally Vermicelli is added to add in texture. Roasted cashews are finally added for the finishing touch and richness.

Notes
- I have used roasted fine variety vermicelli. If using the thick vaiety cook them soft and then add them.
- The Kheer Thickens over time. Hence adjust the milk quantity accordingly.
- The amount of milk also differs based on the variety of vermicelli used. Adjust milk quantity accordingly.
- If the kheer gets thick after cooking then add in some milk and heat them again.
- Tastes best either served hot or cold.
