Today sharing a very simple recipe.This dry and spicy curry can be prepared at any stage of the jackfruit – from tender to a matured unripe fruit.
Ingredients:-
- Jackfruit bulbs – 2 cups (seeds removed and chopped roughly)
- Tender seeds – 1/2 cup(skin removed and chopped)
- Garlic – handful crushed along with skin
- Red chillies – 3 nos broken
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp (opt)
- Salt to taste
- Oil – 2 tsp
Method:-
Chop roughly the jackfruit bulbs removing the seeds and the thick skin inside it.
In a pressure pan/cooker add the seeds first at the bottom level and then the chopped bulbs on top.Add little salt and turmeric powder (opt) and 1/2 cup water.
Close the lid and cook for 2 or 3 whistles.Open the lid once all the pressure is gone.Check whether its cooked.Check for salt too.
Heat a kadai with oil,add the crushed garlic.When the colour is changed add the broken chillies,fry for a second.
Add the cooked mixture into this.Saute well,add salt if required.Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the water is dry.
Notes:-
Garlic can be replaced with mustard and proceed with the same recipe.
For time saving and easy cooking I used cooker to precook.It can be directly cooked too after the seasoning in the pan is done.
