Instructions To begin making the Kadgi Chakko Recipe,Ā firstly we will cut the raw jackfruit.

Drain any water from the jackfruit and set aside.Gently shred the jackfruit pieces. You do not want to completely mash it or break it. We still want some chunks in the vegetable.In a small saucepan, add oil and heat iti on medium flame, add the coriander seeds and urad dalĀ until lightly fried and it releases a good aroma. Take care not to burn them; just lightly roasted.Ā Transfer them in a small blender jar along with grated coconut and tamarind. Blend to a very coarse paste.Ā In a deep kadai, heat on oil on medium flame,Ā add the mustard seeds and once it starts to sputter add the curry leaves and fry for a few seconds till crisp.Ā To this add the ground coconut masala and shredded jackfruit, add salt to taste along with jaggery and mix gently.Sprinkle some water and cook till heated through and the jackfruit coconut masala is fairly dry.Keep stirring in between and once it becomes fairly dry, turn off the flame.Ā ServeĀ Kadgi ChakkoĀ Recipe alongĀ withĀ Steamed Rice,Ā Mooga Ghushi,Ā SolkadhiĀ andĀ ChapatiĀ for an everyday meal.For anĀ Indian Diabetic Meal,Ā serve thisĀ Kadgi ChakkoĀ along withĀ Karnataka Style Ragi Ujju Rotti RecipeĀ andĀ Dal Vangi RecipeĀ andĀ Mooli Raita RecipeĀ for a complete meal.Ā
