Jackfruit and mangoes are among my favourite fruits. In UAE its easy to enjoy all sorts of mangoes particularly Pakistani but hard to find a good jackfruit and its very expensive too . But each year during my vacation my mom manages to in advance keep my share of jackfruit which i relish . During my last vacation I made a lot of dishes with it like jackfruit stir fry , juice and halwa. This halwa is inspired by 12 recipe book which I would like to share with you. Its really easy and quick. Do give it a try.
