Like banana chips, "chakka varuthathu" also is an all time favorite of all Keralites. It is usually made and stored during Feb- May, the jackfruit season.
INGREDIENTS
1. Raw jackfruit
2. Coconut oil
3. Salt water or powdered salt
METHOD
The difficult part in making jackfruit fry is pulling out the arils. The jackfruit is first cut horizontally into two and each portion is cut vertically into four pieces. The thick middle stem is removed using a knife and both ends of each piece are bent downwards using both hands. Now it is easy to pull out the jackfruit arils.
The arils have seeds inside. They are removed and kept aside for making curries. Even the seed cover (paada) and middle stem can be used to make thorans ("koonji thoran" and "paada thoran")
Both ends of the arils are thick and they are cut and fried seperately or kept aside to make curries.The middle portion is cut into thin strips and fried , sprinkling salt water/powdered salt when half done.
