Goan Jackfruit Cake

Delicious jackfruit cake baked using the rossal jackfruit (the softer variety of jackfruit is known as rossal in Goa). This cake is baked with rice, coconut, Goan palm jaggery along with the jackfruit kernel. A tea time Goan specialty and specially for those who don't like the taste of jackfruit. This cake is originally steamed (steamed version is known as mados / dhonus). But I have baked this one.
