Chakka Pazham (Jackfruit)……

Got this fully ripe, very sweet jackfruit from family house in Thidanad.

Wrestled with it early in the morning to come upto.

1. Cutting- without proper tools it was more force than the efficiency of the blade

2. Extraction

A time consuming, highly skilled process of extracting fruit and separating the seeds.

3. Todo….

Keep a few for eating pleasure. Rest to get into a process to make jackfruit balls

The seeds mainly for occasional ‘Chakkakuru manga’ curry; arguably one of the finest.

You have to do this when you’re a Malayalee……

Watch this space.

  One of them. Jackfruit is probably the biggest of all fruits and has been named as the State fruit for the state of Kerala. It’s also a health food , particularly the raw one
