Chakka Erissery Recipe - Kerala Style Coconut Laced Jackfruit Sabzi

Step 1: To begin making Chakka Erissery Recipe, let us first cut the raw jackfruit

Step 2: In order to do that we have to first, grease our hands and the knife that we are going to use, with some oil

Step 3: 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

Step 4: Keep a bowl of water mixed with some salt, ready to put the cut raw jackfruit pieces to avoid discolouration of the fruit

Step 5: 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

Step 6: Place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and turmeric powder, red chilli powder, pepper powder and salt

Step 7: Pressure cook for 1 whistle and turn off the heat

Step 8: Allow the pressure to release naturally

Step 9: In a mixer grinder, combine the grated coconut, and cumin seeds into a fine smooth paste along with some water

Step 10: Once the pressure from the pressure cooker has released naturally, open the lid, add the coconut masala and return to flame

Step 11: Cook on medium low heat for 3-4 minutes with no lid on, stirring continuously so that it does not get burnt down

Step 12: turn off the flame

Step 13: Heat coconut oil in a tadka pan on low heat

Step 14: 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
