How to make Raw Jackfruit Poriyal Recipe - South Indian Raw Jackfruit Stir Fry
To begin making the Raw Jackfruit Poriyal, let us first cut the raw jackfruit. In order to do that we have to first, grease our hands and the knife that we are going to use, with some oil.
This important tip ensures that the hands don't get sticky from the natural fruit latex/sap present in the fruit does not get onto your hands and makes the cutting process hassle-free.
Keep a bowl of water mixed with some salt, ready to put the cut raw jackfruit pieces to avoid discolouration of the fruit.
Now that your hands and knife are well greased, cut the the jackfruit in half, discard the skin and start making 1 inch pieces and soak them in the salted water.
To start making the Raw Jackfruit Poriyal, place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 6 whistles and turn off the heat.
Allow the pressure to release naturally. Drain any water from the jackfruit and set aside.
In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat, add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle, next add asafoetida, urad dal and chana dal and fry till they turn golden brown. This will take about a minute.
Once they have turned brown, add in the curry leaves, green chilies, salt, turmeric powder, black pepper powder and the boiled raw jackfruit pieces. Give the Raw Jackfruit Poriyal a good stir for about 30 seconds and turn off the heat.
Finally add the lemon juice, grated coconut and mix properly. The Raw Jackfruit Poriyal Recipe is ready to be served.
