JACKFRUIT PULINKARI, CHAKKA PULINKARI, PHANSACHE CURRY

Jackfruit is available during summer.   We can make varieties of dishes out of it viz. Idichakka thoran, Puzhuku, chips, kheer, jam and a curry too. Seeds are used for making varuval, kheer and it is a part of avial too.   During mango/jackfruit season, we always prefer to have the dishes made out of this as it was available plenty in our house.  We never used to get bored of it.

This curry is made out of the ripe one and is very tasty which goes well with rice, chapati. It is a very simple and easy dish to make.  In most of the Kerala houses, during the season, the dishes made out of this served atleast four days in a week.

Let us look at the recipe now:
