Hi Friends... Here I am with a recipe for preparing Chickpeas and Tender Jackfruit curry!
But the story behind this blog is much more interesting than the method of preparing it!!😉😀
I made this curry yesterday, and had the idea of sharing it here. But the cleaning and cutting of this jackfruit with it's sticky-gum took away most of my time, and I could not take step by step pics as my aged parents were waiting to have their food!! So I thought I would share it some time later when I get this jackfruit again!
But here, the season of tender jackfruit is almost over and we can get only the ripe ones now. So I thought it would be better to share it with a photo of the remaining curry, today!! ... ;) Thus came this blog!!
Anyways I am sorry for not having more photos, as I always do with my food - blogs!
Now lemme describe the method - How to prepare this Treditional, delicious curry!!
We need...(serves six)
Tender jackfruit - half(cleanly cut into equal size' pieces)
Chickpeas (Kabuli Channa) - 100 grams. (Soaked overnight)
Separately steamboil these two things first.
To make a Masala,we need...
Fenugreek seeds- 1 tea spoon
Cirriender seeds- 2 tea spoon.
Red chillies - 4
Tamarind and asafoetida a pinch each.
Fresh coconut powder -one full cup.
Grind these things to a fine paste using a mixer adding some water while grinding.
Make a seasoning...
Now take a deep fry pan, put one table spoon full of Pure Coconut oil, add some mustard seeds when it pops, add curry leaves. Now we have to add the pre-boiled Chickpeas and Jackfruit pieces to this and add the ground Masala and salt to taste. Let it boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
If the curry is thick, we can have it with Roties and Parathas....
A bit thin curry goes good with hot-steaming Basmati Rice!
So make it and share your experience with me here. If you know some more recipes, then you can also write a separate blog and share it with our huge Steemit community!!
Jackfruit is a good fruit mostly available in this season, in India as well as most of the South Asian countries. It is loved by all age groups.
