Raw Jackfruit Curry-Tender Jackfruit Curry-Palakai Curry

February 22, 2015 by PadhuSankar 12 Comments

Raw tender jackfruit is used to make curry, pickles, stir fry etc. My mother has never cooked jackfruit, so I do know how to cook raw jackfruit before marriage. After marriage, I learn’ t to make kootu, stir fry and many dishes from tender jackfruit. We have a big jackfruit tree in our garden. Most of the time I never allow the jackfruit to ripe. I pluck it when they are tender. Cleaning and cutting raw jackfruit is a messy job. My helper taught me an easy method to chop raw jackfruit which I am sharing it here. Today we will learn how to make raw jackfruit curry (palakai poriyal) following this easy recipe.

      No, it will not have any sour taste. Actually this is an easy method of cleaning jackfruit otherwise cleaning jack fruit is very tedious.
