When you want traditional cooking, nothing is more apt for a keralaite than the chakka unda.
This delicious jackfruit product lasts very long as it is cooked extremely well.
My mother’s sidekicks Orotha Chedathy and Parel Chedathy used to decimate 5 big jackfruits by the time you blink. Oh well! I forgot to time mine for this small pile- an hour!!!
And the fruit with some ghee and spices in slow fire for a few more hours make it into a thick pasty state which can be rolled into balls which then are coated with some fried rice powder.
33 Chakkappazham undas! May not be fit for a king, but who cares! Even the privi purse is abolished…The question was “WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN UP?”

Looks yummy 😀 I haven’t tasted these. Jackfruit halwa, idli and paysum are my favorites 😀 and of course, not to forget the very famous jackfruit chips 😀

Oh yes Rekha. And home made jackfruit chips are way too good compared to the ones in shops.
Perhaps I will be able to send you some next season. Anyway we will be in touch. After all friends are here to stay

I am not an expert when it comes to cleaning Jackfruit but might have needed little less time. I would love to eat fresh fruit but when in abundance we make cake, called dhondas in konkani.
