Chakka Thoran (Jackfruit) with a twist

It's been a long time since i had idichakka.. The moment i head my mom and brother mention having idichakka, i was craving to have thoran. Today me and my husband went to the nearby Malayali super market to buy Idichakka. I went in and asked, "Do you have Chakka?" I have no idea to differentiate the chola chakka and idichakka. I was excited he had chakka, and bought it. Cost me 115 Rs. I thought who cares.. Worth it! After coming home, we split open the chakka, and to my disappointment it was Chakka chola. :( I searched online to see how i can make thoran out of it. But didnt find any good recipes. So i decided to cook it like Idichakka way, and it turned out to be awesome!
Here is how..

Here is how..
Steps
- 1
To prepare the jackfruit, spread few newspaper sheets on the floor. Use a few sheets of plain white paper to remove the latex and make sure you don't use newspaper for this as it might spread the ink!
- 2
Spread 1 spoon of oil on a storage bowl. Coat your hands and knife with oil as well.
- 3
Start by cutting the jackfruit into half and further into wedges.
- 4
Cut the middle stem and outer skin off the fruit. Use paper to remove the latex.
- 5
Remove the fruit outer skin and collect in the storage bowl. If there is a seed inside, you can keep it aside for preparing jackfruit seed roast.
- 6
Clean the contents of the storage bowl. I just cleaned with water.
- 7
In a pressure cooker, add the fruits, turmeric, salt to taste. Pressure cook for 2 whistles.
- 8
Prepare the shallot, and grind in a mixie with red chillies. Dont grind a lot. Just 2 whips are enough
- 9
In a kadai, add coconut oil and burst the mustard seeds, curry leaves, bengal gram and urad dal.
- 10
Once burst, add the grind shallot and saute till it's transparent.
- 11
Once the jackfruit is cooked, add just the fruit into the mixie and whip for 2 times. Add into kadai.
- 12
Add grated coconut into the kadai.
- 13
Let it get roast for couple of mins by adding a little coconut oil. Turn off the heat once it's dry.
- 14
Enjoy for a weekend lunch!
