Konkani Style Kadgi Chakko Recipe - Raw Jackfruit With Coconut

Step 1: To begin making the Kadgi Chakko Recipe, firstly we will 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: Next place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 2 whistles and turn off the heat

Step 7: Allow the pressure to release naturally

Step 8: Drain any water from the jackfruit and set aside

Step 9: Gently shred the jackfruit pieces

Step 10: You do not want to completely mash it or break it

Step 11: We still want some chunks in the vegetable

Step 12: In a small saucepan, add oil and heat iti on medium flame, add the coriander seeds and urad dal  until lightly fried and it releases a good aroma

Step 13: Take care not to burn them; just lightly roasted

Step 14: Transfer them in a small blender jar along with grated coconut and tamarind

Step 15: Blend to a very coarse paste

Step 16: In a deep kadai, heat on oil on medium flame, add the mustard seeds and once it starts to sputter add the curry leaves and fry for a few seconds till crisp

Step 17: To this add the ground coconut masala and shredded jackfruit, add salt to taste along with jaggery and mix gently
