- 1 cup Brined jackfruit pods
- 1.5 tsp Jaggery
- 2 tbsp Fresh grated coconut
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
To temper
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds-
- 1/2 tsp Split blackgram lentils
- 1 no. Broken red chillies
Method
Keep the brined jackfruit immersed in water for an hour. Rinse with enough water for 3 to 4 times. This procedure helps to remove excess salt. Then chop the pods in to bite sized pieces.
Heat a pan with all the ingredients under "To temper" list and let the mustard seeds sizzle. Include chopped jackfruit pods and jaggery. Saute for few minutes. When the bites cook up, add grated coconut. Mix and switch off.
Brined jackfruit stirfry is ready to serve with rice-rasam.
Notes
Since it's brined jackfruit, additional salt isn't required for the stirfry.
You can add a slit green chilly, if you like spicy stirfry. I haven't added it.
Brined jackfruit cooks up too early and it doesn't require water to cook. The moisture in them is sufficient.
