Chakkakuru Manga Curry / Jackfruit Seed and Mango Curry


I brought a big packet of chakkakuru from Kerala this year. Side dishes with chakkakuru are my favorite and I have already made Chakkakuru Manga Curry and Chakkakuru Mezhukkupuratti out of it….. This Chakkakuru manga curry is a traditional vegetarian side dish of Kerala….. A plate of boiled rice with this charu curry, a piece of fish fry and some mezhukkupuratti / stir fried vegetable or thoran is a bliss for lunch!


Chakkakuru Manga Curry / Jackfruit Seed and Mango Curry

Ingredients:
Peeled and washed Chakkakuru /Jackfruit seeds - 2 cups, cut lengthwise in to 4 pieces
Pachamanga / Raw Mango - 1, peeled and sliced
Chumannulli / shallots – 10, sliced length wise
Pachamulaku / Green Chillies - 5, slit
Turmeric powder- ¼ tsp

Grind to a smooth paste:
Grated fresh coconut -1 cup, heaped
Chumannulli / Shallots – 2
Green Chillies – 2
Mallipodi / Coriander powder -1/2 tsp
Turmeric Powder-1/4 tsp

For Seasoning:
Coconut oil - 2 tbsp
Kaduku / Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
Chumannulli / Shallots -3, sliced thinly
Dry Red Chillies – 3
Red chilly powder- ¼ tsp
Curry leaves- few


Method:
  • Grind together grated coconut, shallots, green chillies, coriander powder and turmeric powder to a fine paste and keep aside.
  • Cook chakkakuru / jackfruit seeds with 2 cups of water, chumannulli /shallots, turmeric powder and salt. When jackfruit seeds are cooked half way add mango pieces and green chillies and cook until soft and tender. Mash jackfruit seeds slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Now add the ground paste to the cooked jackfruit- mango mixture and mix well. Lower the flame and stir well for 2-3 minutes or until the curry is heated thoroughly but do not let it boil after adding coconut paste. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
  • For seasoning, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add shallots and fry until light brown and add curry leaves, dry red chillies and chilly powder and fry for few seconds. Pour this seasoning over the chakkakuru curry, mix well and serve.
