Chakkakuru Muringakaya Parippu Curry ~ Jackfruit Seed Drumstick Lentil Curry

Each time I get my stock of jackfruit seeds or chakkakuru like we call it, I would always convert into this stir-fry, definitely my favorite way of having it any time. I would always wait for the time of the year to arrive so that umma would send down some of the dried seeds that she manages to keep. Nobody seems to like it anytime, it is always me who is finishing it off. 😉 I was surprised to see recently that the local supermarket close to my house was selling these seeds in the vegetable section! Even though it is pricey, buying it once in a while wouldn’t hurt, right? At least I don’t have to wait for umma to send some. 🙂

 

This is another favorite way of having this curry. Umma used to make this often, but as usual I had not noted it down from her. When I saw this recipe, it sounds so similar to her curry so I went ahead and made it. And I must say, it tasted exactly like the way she makes!  You can make this curry without the drumstick too, but it adds a nice dimension and I love to scoop out the flesh in while having it with my rice. Pair it with an awesome fish fry, and your lunch is set! 😉

 

PST: this is one of umma’s oldest chatti. I really don’t know how old is it. She had wrapped it up nicely in many of her clothes and bought it safely ages ago. I bet it is at least 15 years old. I guess you can make it out from the color and the little break at the tip. 🙂 But MaShaAllah, she used to keep her things so well managed, I am so bad at it basically… 🙁

  6. Chakakurru is my fav too! My mom makes something similar but without the drumstick. And she also does the stir fry which is my all time fav dish on chakakurru. But honestly, I like the fruit better! Cutting the jack-fruit was a special occassion for us as kids… sitting around the dissected jackfruit and just making a mess eating… and my grandmom making sure we don’t throw away the seeds! 😛 those days..
