Chakery is made by preparing/cooking a sweet mix made from combining milk, cream, sugar, chopped pineapples or other fruits, yoghurt, and a pinch nutmeg. The said sweet mix is then poured into a cooked couscous. Instant couscous, available now in the markets can also be used for making this dessert.
