Instructions
- To begin making Chakka Erissery Recipe, let us first cut the raw jackfruit
- In order to do that we have to first, grease our hands and the knife that we are going to use, with some oil
- This important tip ensures that the hands don't get sticky from the natural fruit latex/sap present in the fruit does not get onto your hands and makes the cutting process hassle-free
- Keep a bowl of water mixed with some salt, ready to put the cut raw jackfruit pieces to avoid discolouration of the fruit
- Now that your hands and knife are well greased, cut the the jackfruit in half, discard the skin and start making 1 inch pieces and soak them in the salted water
- Place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and turmeric powder, red chilli powder, pepper powder and salt
- Pressure cook for 1 whistle and turn off the heat
- Allow the pressure to release naturally
- In a mixer grinder, combine the grated coconut, and cumin seeds into a fine smooth paste along with some water
- Once the pressure from the pressure cooker has released naturally, open the lid, add the coconut masala and return to flame
- Cook on medium low heat for 3-4 minutes with no lid on, stirring continuously so that it does not get burnt down
- turn off the flame
- Heat coconut oil in a tadka pan on low heat
- Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, when they splutter, add garlic, dry red chillies, curry leaves and coconut pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes and turn off the in a few seconds
- Add this tadka to the Chakka Erissery
