Chakka Kuzhachathu/Raw Jackfruit Curry (Kerala Style)...step by step. Recipe

Chakka kuzhachathu is a traditional curry made with raw jackfruit known as "chakka" in Malayalam. Jackfruit is mostly consumed as a ripened fruit, but its raw flesh is made into jackfruit chips or curries with coconut and served with fish curry/meen curry...Come summer, Kerala has its share of mangoes and jackfruits.

Raw jackfruit is chopped and cooked, fresh coconut grinded coarsely is added to the cooked jackfruit and seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves etc in farm fresh coconut oil. During grandmas time, coconut was grinded in a stone grinder or "ammi kal" as it is known in Malayalam. This gives the most yummiest earthy flavor and sometimes I love to go the traditional way to make authentic Kerala dishes.
