I simply love kathal/ Raw Jackfruit / kadgi fries or even our traditional delicacy chakko which is made of tender Jackfruit ..yesterday was so happy to find one Local Indian store that I couldn't stop myself from buying this it was delicious and lovely :) . Here is the traditional way my mom makes this blogging for mine and my reader's reference :)

salt to taste

2 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

Method


  • Cut the tender Jackfruit with a knife (make sure you apply oil / coconut oil generously on the knife to avoid it getting sticky and messy ) .
  • Grease the cooker properly with oil then add in water and Pressure cook these tender Jackfruit for 1 whistle. Now discard the water, stain these cooked Jackfruit and mash it lightly with the help of your hands
