TENDER/RAW JACKFRUIT/KATHAL GRAVY/KUZHAMBU(பலாக்காய் குழம்பு)

TENDER/RAW JACKFRUIT/KATHAL GRAVY/KUZHAMBU(பலாக்காய் குழம்பு) 

Tender/Raw jackfruit/Kathal gravy is definitely different gravy that goes well with rice/ chapatti. I am a big fan of jackfruit. In our house we are having a very old tree which gives really delicious sweet jackfruits. Before I have never tried any recipe using the tender/raw jackfruit. I even don’t know that we can use this young jackfruit also for cooking. Then few weeks before while seeing the jackfruit in vegetable section I brought and tried this kuzhambu/gravy. 

It really tastes yummy with rice. So now I got one more alternative kuzhambu to serve with rice instead of regular sambhar/more kuzhambu varieties.

Ok now coming to the recipe,

TENDER/RAW JACKFRUIT/KATHAL GRAVY(KUZHAMBU)

RECIPE TYPE: LUNCH | CUISINE: INDIAN | YIELDS: 2 PERSONS

|PREPARATION TIME:  5 MIN | COOKING TIME: 30-35 MIN

                                                                 

                                    

METHOD:

Cut the raw jackfruit in to small pieces and pressure cooks it with little salt till 2 whistles.

Finely chop the onions and tomatoes

In a pan heat a teaspoon of oil and add fennel seeds. Once it got fried add half of the chopped onion and sauté till it becomes translucent. 

Then add the shredded coconut and sauté for 2 minutes.

Cool the sauted onion and coconut mixture and then grind into a smooth paste by adding water.

In the same pan add the remaining oil and add mustard seeds. Once it splutters add the remaining chopped onion, ginger garlic paste and sauté for few minutes. Then add tomatoes and green chillies and sauté till mushy. 

Add the ground paste and saute. Add the chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric and sauté.

Then add mint leaves and cooked jackfruit and required salt and close it with a lid. If necessary add one cup of water and let it boil for around 10 to 15 min till the raw smell goes off.

After 15 minutes open the lid and add garam masala powder and mix well. Boil for 2 more minutes and remove from heat.

Serve with hot rice. We had this with rice and mushroom chops as side dish.

NOTES:

While cut the jackfruit apply little oil in your hands to avoid the sticking of milk comes from the jackfruit.

Use tender jackfruit to get nice soft and juicy pieces.

As we have already added some salt while cooking jack fruit, add little salt to the gravy and check.

Check the water consistency and mix the gravy in between while boiling to avoid burning.
