Kathal sabzi – Stir fried Jackfruit in select Indian spices. 

Kathal sabzi-    Jack fruit is called Kathal in Hindi. Being a good source of dietary fiber its a particularly good option for vegetarians. The flesh is starchy and fibrous and the seeds are also edible. Mature fruits have hard seeds similar to Chestnuts, with a hard plastic like cover.

To open or peel the raw seed you have to slit or crack it carefully with a knife or just boil and peel. It tastes like a mix of potato and taro/colocasia.

Jackfruit secretes a sticky resin from it, which does not wash off easily and may sometimes also cause itching – so you have to wear gloves or have thoroughly greased hands and knives, while chopping it.

Jack fruit/Kathal is a exotic vegetable,popular and enjoyed in many regions of India.It is a very good source of dietary fiber so a good option for vegetarians. Ripe Jackfruit/kathal is used as a fruit and the tender young Jackfruit is used to make stir fries,curries, pulao and pickle .

The seeds of Jackfruit are also edible but they have to be peeled carefully as mature seeds have a very thick plastic like coating which have to be removed carefully before adding in the curries or pilaf.

Ingredients



  • 500 gm jackfruit/kathal

Instructions

  • Apply oil on your hands and knife and peel the outer skin of kathal and chop into small pieces (I used 500 gms peeled jackfruit).

  • Pressure cook the jackfruit  pieces and seeds with 2.5 glasses of water , 1/2 t.s turmeric and 1/2 t.s salt.

  • Drain on a colander and let it cool down, then squeeze gently to remove the extra water.Peel the seeds carefully and chop them into pieces

  • Heat oil in a pan, add cumin, asafoetida, clove powder and grated ginger.saute for a while.Add turmeric and boiled jackfruit and seeds, and fry for few seconds and then add salt.

  • Let it cook for 2 minutes on low flame, stir 2-3 times in betweenNow add beaten curd and all the spices.

  • Mix well and cook on low flame for 5 minutes.

  • Keep turning the sides in between (Kathal is a very bland vegetable, so you need a little extra of everything – oil, spices and cooking time)

  • Garnish with fresh coriander and serve.

  • Serving Suggestions – Serve with Roti, Rice or as a side dish.

      Only raw.. Ripen fruit is sweet and is eaten as fruit.

    @Anonymous-first pressure cook for 2 whistles on medium heat,then check ,cook for 1 more whistles if required,as it depends on the quality and size of jack fruit pieces,you cam also boil it in a pan till done.
