ABOUT Panasa Pottu Kura (Raw Jackfruit curry - Andhra Style) RECIPE

This is my version of Raw Jackfruit Curry made in a typical Andhra Style. This fruit in the veggie form is very popular down South, especially in Andhra / Telangana. Here in this recipe, I added some sambar powder and made it quite spicy and tangy. You can go easy on the spice level and enjoy as a side dish with either rice or chapattis.
