Kathal Biryani Pulao- Aromatic and delicious jackfruit pulao- specialty from Awadhi Cuisine

Kathal Biryani Pulao- Jack fruit/Kathal is a exotic vegetable,popular and enjoyed in many regions of India.It is a very good source of dietary fibre 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 .

This kathal Biryani is very popular among vegetarian and non-vegetarians.To make this biryani jackfruit should be either boiled or fried according to personal preference and then it is marinated in a spicy yogurt marinade which gives a very nice flavor to the Biryani.
You need just a bowl of chilled yogurt or Spinach Raita and papad to serve with.
The seeds of jackfruits 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.I have posted a delicious stir fry with jack fruit seeds
