Palakkai Koottu Baby Jackfruit Curry
Palakkai Koottu (Baby Jackfruit Curry)
This is a well known dish for the people hailing from Chettinad.Achi’s are very crazy of this veg and just because of that a small baby jackfruit will cost 30 or 35 Rs in that area. If anyone in chettinad manages to get one baby jack they will surely share half of it with their friends or close relatives since it is a rare find tasty veg. But I am lucky to have a jack fruit tree in my garden and I cook this often in season. This is a sure item to be cooked on pongal day and so however costly it is at that time, people will buy one and share atleat a small piece. During all functions the first item in the lunch menu list will be this curry if they could somehow manage to get this. I know all will be wondering what is special in this that the achis are so crazy about it.The answer you can get once you taste it and I am sure that all from chettinad would have for sure tasted the curry and will agree with me. Now a days with the pressure cooker, cooking the curry is also very easy. Only difficulty is the cutting part. Once you are experienced, it is a 10 minute job. Half baby jackfruit will be enough for this curry. In the next half we can make Pilakkai pirattal,another famous item made out of this veg
