Jackfruit Recipes In Tamil
Happy Saraswathi Puja wishes to Senthil’s Kitchen family and friends! Sorry for the gap with my blogs. Hope Goddess Saraswathi will bless me to come up with more blogs for the sake of my satisfaction and for the enjoyment of my fans.
In today’s blog, I will share a simple, yet mouthwatering recipe for young green jack fruit fry! We call it “Palamusu Varuval” in my hometown (Thanjavur) in Tamil Nadu.
While writing this blog, I was intrigued by the name “Palamusu”. What does that really mean? Upon a bit of investigation (or lazy googling I would say…), I found out how this name could have come into place:
Jackfruit Payasam Recipe In Tamil
Wow, a very meaningful Tamil name for the young jack fruit which I was not aware of all these years! I wonder how the young jack fruit is called in other Indian languages, and if there are similar interesting facts behind those names…
Young jack fruit dishes are very famous in the neighboring state of Kerala too. “Chakka Thoran” is a very popular and addictive Kerala dish (“Chakka” means jack fruit in Malayalam).
Sometimes the jack fruit is confused with an another similar looking fruit called “Bread Fruit”. I myself had fallen victim one time, bought bread fruit (all the while wondering how come jack fruit comes in all shapes and forms in US) and cooked it thinking it to be a jack fruit! We will talk about it on an another blog.
Jackfruit Curry(sri Lankan Kiri Kos)
The young jack fruit when correctly cooked tastes like mutton (like my dad says!). Here is an another awesome side dish for you all, Palamusu Fry! Enjoy with hot rice and sambar, or rasam or yogurt curry.
This young jack fruit is highly seasonal and is available only during few months in the year. But you can try this dish anytime with the frozen young jack fruit cut pieces available in the freezer section in most of the desi grocery stores (cannot beat the taste of the fresh jack fruit though, but it is ok, life is full of comprises, right?).I loved it the very first time when she made curry with it. I don’t know any recipes with raw jackfruit other than this, but love it a lot.
The texture is so different and I love it. The cleaning process is bit messy and tedious. But everything is worth to have this curry.

They also picked a sweetest ripe jackfruit and it was as sweet as honey! We made curry with half of this raw jackfruit and kootu with the other half.
The unripe jackfruit should be young and tender to make a delicious dish. We do get this cleaned and cut in Singapore. But sure, nothing can beat the backyard garden picked fresh one.
Grease the knife too with oil. This is because when we cut the veggie, it will leave a sap thing which is so sticky. And it leaves stains as well.

Then cut one of the half into big pieces and remove the thorny green skin part as shown. Remove the centre stalk too(thick part) and chop into small pieces.
2. Keep ready, a bowl of water with buttermilk to immerse the chopped veggie. You can also use the drained water we washed the rice.
3. Boil water with salt an turmeric and cook the finely chopped veggie until soft. Will take roughly 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the water and keep aside.

5. Heat kadai with oil an temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table. Add onions and fry till transparent. Mix the ground paste with the cooked raw jackfruit along with salt.
6. Add it to the kadai and fry well. Keep in medium flame to ensure the curry gets roasted evenly and mix now and then. This may take some time. Say 15 minutes.
Transfer to the serving bowl and serve as accompaniment for sambar/ rasam/ more kuzhambu. Do try this different veggie, you would love it!
