Idichakka thoran

Idi chakka or tender jack fruit is loaded with healthy fibres and other essential nutrients.

This recipe is a bit different from the usual tender jackfruit thoran (stir fry) as the jackfruit bulbs are nicely crushed and not chopped. Here is how you could easily prepare the crushed idi chakka stir fry.

1 tsp coriander powder
2 chopped green chillies

After it has cooled down, crush it well without breaking down the jackfruit bulbs
Heat a teaspoon of coconut oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds
