ABOUT Fusion spiced Jackfruit curry RECIPE

With the advent of summer's there is a lot of produce of jackfruit and raw Jackfruit curry is one of the main cuisines in the north though raw jackfruit /kathal is cooked all over india in different ways . Kathal is normally deep fried and then cooked in the gravy but here i have opted the healtheir option of pressure baking and cooking . Its not only tasty but also meaty at the same timeThe spices play an important role in the variation of flavours. In the north whole cumin and garam masala are the main spices used and in the east the kathal is cooked with panch phoran . Here i have used the combinatuon of the northen and eastern spices to cook . It is even said that kathal is cooked a day before and served the next day. The more it rests the more flavour is imparted. So very interesting !!
