Palamoosu podimas is a mouth-watering jackfruit dish. I learnt this recipe from my grandmother who serves it as a side dish.
What you need
Urad dal - 1 1/2 cup
Red chillies - 10
Bengal gram - 1/2 cup
Asafoetida - for taste
Curry leaves - 1 tsp
Jackfruit just turning ripe - 1/2 a fruit
Salt - to taste
Oil - 1 tsp
Cooking instructions
Open the jackfruit and cut into medium-sized cubes. Pressure cook it (one whistle). Heat an open pan, add 1 tsp oil and fry the urad dal, Bengal gram, red chillies and asafoetida powder. Keep aside and let cool. Grind the mixture to a fine powder, without water.
Now, grate the cooked jackfruit. In a dry pan add the mixture, grated jackfruit and salt and mix well. Garnish with curry leaves.
