Chakka Kuru Manga Curry | Jackfruit Seed and Mango Curry
Aruna
Chakka Kuru Manga Curry is a traditional recipe from Kerala that celebrates both the Jackfruit Seed and Raw Mango. Flavoured with a coconut-cumin-green chilli paste, this curry is very easy to make and is eaten with hot rice.
Wash the jackfruit seeds well and dry them for an hour.
Using a sharp knife, gently remove the outer white layer of the seed.
If you so wish, scrape the inner brown layer off with a knife. This layer is edible and I kept it on.
Cut each seed into 4 pieces.
Getting the Raw Mango Ready
Peel the mango and cut into 1" pieces.
Making the Coconut Paste
Using a little water, grind the coconut, cumin and green chillies into a coarse paste.
Making the Jackfruit and Raw Mango Curry
To a heavy-bottomed vessel, add the jackfruit seeds, turmeric and 1 cup water.
Over medium heat, boil the jackfruit seeds till they are firm but cooked. Cut a piece with a knife; you should be able to cut it easily but the seed should feel firm.
Add the mango pieces and little water, if needed.
Cook till the mango pieces are cooked.
Add the ground coconut-cumin-chilli paste. Add a little water, if required.
Mix well and cook for 2 minutes.
The Tempering
In a ladle, heat the coconut oil.
Add mustard seeds and wait till they crackle.
Add red chillies and curry leaves, and stir-fry for a few seconds.
Add the tempering to the Chakka Kuru Manga Curry and mix well.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
