Echorer Dalna / Kancha Kathaler Torkari (Bengali Style Raw Jackfruit Curry)
#masterchef Echorer Dalna is an age old recipe where “echor” is referred to as green unripe jackfruit. This is a must have dish in our house during summer, specially, around Bengali New Year. Kancha Kathal or Echor (raw jackfruit) is also called “gach patha” (tree goat) in Bengali as, if cooked to perfection, the taste can actually substitute mutton. One must try it to believe it. Though, it can be cooked in vegetarian version as well, but, the mutton taste can be brought only if it is cooked in non vegetarian way. Here I want to mention that for Bengalis, anything that contains onion or garlic or both is considered to be non vegetarian. Naboborsho aka Poila Boishakh aka Bengali New Year is arriving and Echorer Dalna has a significant place in order to mark this occasion.
