Jackfruit chutney is sweet and slightly sour in taste and is prepared from ripe jackfruit. It is made by adding finely grated coconut pulp, dried red chilies, jaggery and a little tamarind pulp. It is also tempered with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chilies and curry leaves.
In a mixer, put 1 cup of coconut (grated), 6 pieces of dry red chilies, 2 tbsp jaggery, and 1 tbsp of tamarind pulp. Make a smooth paste.
In a bowl, take 12 pods of jackfruit. Remove the seeds.
Then, add salt to taste.
Now, pour the paste.
Mix it. Keep it aside.
To make the tadka for the chutney, heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil. When hot, add 1 tsp of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of mustard seeds, and 2 pieces of dry red chilies (torn in pieces). Let it cook nicely.
Now, add a handful of curry leaves and cook it for 30 seconds. (Pro tip: Oil might sprinkle while making the tadka. You can cover and cook to be safe).
When the tadka is cooked, transfer it immediately to the bowl containing the jackfruit chutney.
Mix it nicely. Your sweet and delicious homemade jackfruit chutney is ready to serve.
I always choose ripe and fresh jackfruit to make this chutney so that the original taste is maintained.If jaggery is not available at home, you can use regular sugar instead, but adding jaggery enhances the taste of the chutney.I have added 6 dried red chilies in this recipe but you can increase or decrease the number of chilies as per your choice.Be sure to use fresh coconut to make this chutney creamy and delicious.Let the tempering fry nicely and then mix it in the chutney so that the full flavor comes out well.
