SOOKHA MASALEDAAR KATHAL (SPICY DRY JACKFRUIT)
Jackfruit tree a jackfruit- split wide open the outer spiny cover
From hating to loving this veggie (fruit???), I have come a long way-as a child I could never have so many of these vegetables ,the ghia/lauki family in particular and karela and kathal.
But now... I love them all, and ever since I have started blogging I feel my sense of taste has become keener than ever- do you all , fellow bloggers feel the same or -felt the same (here I am talking to vintage bloggers :) )???I look at unfamiliar veggies with new respect and want to try my hand at making eh! -parval? ghia? karela? tori? tinda? yup -all of em! haha!

We grew up eating Jackfruit, raw in dishes and fruit as they are or in dosas. Unfortunately, all I get here are in cans but something is better than nothing!:))
Sookhe Kathal looks yum. I have a whole post devoted to Kathal at FH!:))
Looks wonderful I never tried jack fruit but it looks delicious. :)
Bindiya...Nice one...I never experimented with Kathal...its unavailable also here ;-)

i have never tasted jackfruit like this..
Here here me too grew up eating jackfruit. Ripe, curry , chips etc....I have not ate them after getting married as when evr i go back to india they don't have it anymore.
This is a delicious dish.
most north indian recipes center around green jackfruit. do you also eat/cook the ripe fruit? love both, btw.
asha- glad you discovered it's lovely flavors early.
jeena-Thanks

bee-No I have never tried the ripe fruit, maybe now I will :)
I always marvel at how our taste buds adjust and change as we grow older.

I have never eaten jackfruit. I am not sure whether I can buy it here. Probably I ll be able to get the dried variety. That should work, right? Strange, you guys make spicy fruit dishes....
Zlamushka-Only the name is "jackfruit",it does not taste like a fruit at all, meaning it is not sweet, so spicy dishes can easily be made out of it!
Bindiya,
Lovely and colorful dish buddy. I have never had jackfruit this way.I am sure I will be able to get hold of frozen jackfruit here. Have bookmarked your recipe.
Bindiya,
This jack fruit tree is different from the common one, and we have it in our place..
I will try your recipe, when I get one..definitely.
keep posting more recipes..
