Jackfruit Thoran

Jackfruit thoran made with unripe jackfruit. Got frozen jackfruit from the Indian store to make this thoran. The product came all the way from kerala, was not so fresh. But after cooking, the thoran tasted good. So if you can get some fresh ones, this thoran will be very delicious.

Ingredients

12 oz packet - Unripe jackfruit, shredded
1/4 tsp - Turmeric powder
salt to taste

Grind coarsely or Crush with mortar & pestle

1/4 cup - Fresh grated coconut
2 - Green chili
1 - Shallot ( medium size )
1 flake - Garlic ( optional )

Seasoning

1/2 tsp - Mustard seeds
1 sprig - Curry leaves

Method

1 ) Cook jackfruit with turmeric powder and salt to taste in little water. Cook covered with a lid on low heat.

2 ) Crush the ingredients listed, either grind coarsely in a blender or crush with a mortar & pestle.

3 ) Add crushed ingredients with cooked jackfruit and mix. Cover and cook for a minute or two on low heat. Take off the heat.

4 ) Season with mustard and curry leaves. Heat oil in a pan, pop mustard seeds and then add curry leaves. Pour over the jackfruit and mix.

Serve with rice as a side dish.

Hi Asha : These are frozen ones..nothing like a fresh one.

Hi Seena : what is naalumanichaya ?

Hi Happy cook:Oh that's bad. So i think you should plan your next trip back to kerala during the jackfruit season and enjoy the sweet and unripe ones.

Hi Pooja : Try eating :D

Hi Rajitha : Thanks :D

Hi Prajusha : Oh yes, that will be a good combo.
