Today right now Udupi must be celebrating Gokualshtami with all pomp and gaiety to mark the birth of Lord Krishna and his childhood activities. All the good people of Udupi, you are blessed to be part of it. Me, several thousand miles away from the place, sitting in front of my laptop to post my routine recipe, watching the telecast of celebration over TV simultaneously to make myself present over there.
In post-festival relaxed mood I always look something simple, quick, easy and mild things to cook. So today when I looked in to my refrigerator, these jackfruit seeds caught me up. Yeah, let me tell you the truth. I have many such unique and genuine things safely stored in the fridge that are brought from India when I was back. By genuine I mean things that are not easily available in UAE.
So a series of recipes to be materialized before the ingredients are no more usable. I have to act in double speed guys!!!
Well, these cute jackfruit seeds can be turned in to many snacks, sweets and rice side dish. I have started with jackfruit seeds tambli which is simple and quick one. These seeds have to be cooked till butter-soft either in pressure cooker or on stove top. Then it is the grinding part with all spices which then gets combined with buttermilk. Jackfruit seeds tambli is so very healthy, mild and apt on any lazy day.
