Chakka Puttu Recipe – Jackfruit Puttu – ചക്ക പുട്ട് – Kerala Breakfast Recipe
Chakka Puttu is a very tasty dish and can be easily prepared. I have added tasty and yummy jackfruit to the puttu to make it more delicious and healthy. This puttu is made by adding chopped jack fruit. It is light sweet with great aroma and taste.
Jackfruit is deliciously sweet in taste. It is also rich in energy, dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and free from saturated fats or cholesterol. Enriched with phytonutrients, like lignans, that contain anti-cancer and anti-ageing properties, jackfruits are beneficial in eliminating cancer-causing free radicals in the body and inhibiting the degeneration of cells. With simple sugar such as fructose and sucrose present in jackfruit, it is useful in boosting energy levels, without adding fat or cholesterol to the body.
