A variety of preparations are made from tender jackfruit all over India. Known as Kathal in Hindi, I have used the raw or tender form of jackfruit to prepare a simple stir-fry which is known as Kadge Upkari in my mother tongue Konkani.
Ingredients:
500 gms of deskinned tender jackfruit
5 dry red chillies
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
Salt.
Method:
Cut the tender jackfruit into thin slices of bite sized pieces. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and after they splutter drop in the red chilly bits. Toss. Add the tender jackfruit pieces, salt and a glass of water. Bring to a boil, lower heat totally, cover and cook till done. Serve hot with dal and rice.
