Chakka mulakushyam recipe | raw jackfruit curry
Chakka mulakushyam recipe is made with raw jackfruit, not a tender one but not riped yet. Jackfruit and coconut curry is one of the common dishes made in Kerala in this jackfruit season.
We reserve raw jackfruit at this particular stage especially for making curries. In our village in Kerala, we have a huge jackfruit tree at our house which gets loaded this season with jackfruits. Granny parcels it for us every year and it tastes so good.
Cleaning raw jackfruit for curry has got a special technique. It is way different from cleaning it for other purposes. For curries, we add a little bit of flesh (white part of rags to which chola/avrils are attached).
If you are not sure how to clean it. Just separate all the cholas/avrils and seeds and discard all white threads/rags. We need a few seeds as well for the curry. adding seeds gives a slight crunch in the curry.
