One of the easiest and most commonly eaten desserts in many parts of India is halwa. It is derived from the Turkish version.

Payasam, for the uninitiated, is a South Indian counterpart of kheer. While the word refers to milk, the consistency of a payasam is thinner and you can easily make jackfruit payasam for the season

Commonly eaten during Ganesh Chaturthi, modak is a dumpling-shaped sweet meat that is Lord Ganesha’s favourite. Since so many variations of modak have come up, jackfruit modak is in the list as well.

Not only is the skin and pulp of jackfruit very beneficial, the seeds of this fruit are equally useful. Very often, they are added to Laddoos.

This is a layered dessert that finds hints of jackfruit and sabudana in it. A super-healthy sweet meat that one would find hard to resist.
