Konkani Style Kadgi Chakko Recipe - Raw Jackfruit With Coconut

Steps

1. 1To begin making the Kadgi Chakko Recipe, firstly we will cut the raw jackfruit. In order to do that we have to first, grease our hands and the knife that we are going to use, with some oil.
2. 2This important tip ensures that the hands don't get sticky from the natural fruit latex/sap present in the fruit does not get onto your hands and makes the cutting process hassle-free.
3. 3Keep a bowl of water mixed with some salt, ready to put the cut raw jackfruit pieces to avoid discolouration of the fruit.
4. 4Now that your hands and knife are well greased, cut the the jackfruit in half, discard the skin and start making 1 inch pieces and soak them in the salted water.
5. 5Next place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 2 whistles and turn off the heat.
6. 6Allow the pressure to release naturally. Drain any water from the jackfruit and set aside.
7. 7Gently shred the jackfruit pieces. You do not want to completely mash it or break it. We still want some chunks in the vegetable.
8. 8In a small saucepan, add oil and heat iti on medium flame, add the coriander seeds and urad dal until lightly fried and it releases a good aroma. Take care not to burn them; just lightly roasted.
9. 9Transfer them in a small blender jar along with grated coconut and tamarind. Blend to a very coarse paste.
10. 10In a deep kadai, heat on oil on medium flame, add the mustard seeds and once it starts to sputter add the curry leaves and fry for a few seconds till crisp.
11. 11To this add the ground coconut masala and shredded jackfruit, add salt to taste along with jaggery and mix gently.
12. 12Sprinkle some water and cook till heated through and the jackfruit coconut masala is fairly dry.
13. 13Keep stirring in between and once it becomes fairly dry, turn off the flame.
