Method: Clean, wash and cut the jack fruit seeds into half inch juliennes. Cook
them adding half the turmeric, salt and water. (If it is cut in very thin
slices, it can be cooked along with snake gourd)
Crush the grated coconut with shallots. (Instead of red chilli powder, you
can use green chillies. If green chillies are being used then crush them along with
coconut and shallots)
Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add curry leaves to it. Add the
finely chopped snake gourd along with turmeric, red chilli powder and salt.
Sprinkle a tbsp of water and close the lid allowing it to cook. (if you have
not boiled the jack fruit seeds separately, you can add to the pan along with
snake gourd at this stage.)
Stir occasionally. When the vegetables are cooked you can add the crushed
coconut and mix well. Cover again for 3 minutes for the coconut to cook well so
that there is no raw taste of the paste.
Open and serve hot.
