#CA26 - Check out this irresistible Bong delicacy of Kathal / Raw Jackfruit slow cooked to perfection in a yummy sesame seeds-coconut gravy. This dish is a total amalgamation of the pungency from the freshly ground mustard seeds and a hint of sweetness from the coconut.

This ridiculously simple and easy to cook dish is a very good option for a nice weekend comfort meal. Drizzle some extra mustard oil if you wish and enjoy it with hot steamed rice. I always opt for this simple recipe whenever I need something quick as raw jackfruit, being my favorite, cooked in this way turns out just amazing.

All that you need to do, is to blend a few ingredients to make a paste, then mix them all together with the raw jackfruit and slow cook it and the dish is ready. This is an absolutely quick fix weekend lunch for your entire family. In fact, it is also a great party recipe when you have guests around.
