The Jackfruit That Was

Picture taken in Kerala, India, 2006.
The following pics were taken last week after we got fresh jackfruit at the Thai store.

Stunning pictures… As are some of the others on the site like the sunflowers.
Excellent photos.Boats with pista etc too good .
very nice pix
Great! Nice pictures..How lucky you got a fresh piece of jf..
Beautiful pictures Bee. Viji
Total food porn guys! Drool…and I don’t even like ripe jackfruit that much!
oh my god…i now know what temptation means….kothiyayitte vaiyya !
Lovely boats Bee n’ Jai.
and i came looking for jackfruit paranthas
they work, with raw jackfruit as does the biryani (which fools everyone). and also try raw papaya paranthas, pretty good too.
Love the chakka seeds too
someone has made parathas for JFI. you’ll see it at the roundup. - b.
wow, great idea.. yummy too jf with honey and all the dry fruits
wow!!how did u manage to get rid of all that gluey,sticky stuff!!??
this Thai jackfruit had no sticky gluey stuff. - j.
did anyone else get turned on by the pics
wow - will you look at those pictures!
I have not had jackfruit since I was a child. I am looking forward to all the jackfruit recipes
Just gorgeous.
i love the last photo! wow!and the close up.u got a jackfruit from the thai store? was it good? or was it different from the indian ones?
it was very good. it was less sticky to deal with. it had much less gooey white stuff than the indian ones. - b.
Your pics are making me want to give one try to JF!
[pouts]That looks a lot better than the tinned pieces I just bought and was so proud of myself for finding..
Those fresh, ripe pieces made into boats- a bit of a Mid-Eastern treatment no? I wonder how it would taste with a bit of malai?
Very tempting…yep, that is definitely food-porn!
malai? yikes. you know how to get me all riled up, dontcha?
- b.
The pictures pop out of the page. Your posts are so evocative!
I was reminded of my maternal grandmother’s home during summer vacations. Of the many jackfruit trees there, one of them bore really huge jackfruits that had to be tied with a rope and lowered down from the tree.
The only quality that my grandmother chose to highlight and talk about to others about my father was how her city-fied son-in-law could wield an axe and in one smooth swing cut a huge jackfruit in two without splitting any of the seeds inside. Some exaggeration there. But it is true that I have never seen anyone cut a jackfruit with such little mess.
And we do not see the end of the raw jackfruit once it has been converted into chips or puzhukku. From just the leftover core, with the addition of a few jackfruit seeds, my grandmother would prepare the most delicious varathu araccha curry ever.
cooking the core? wow. that is really resourceful. that’s how people of our grandma’s generation were. - b.
I got a can of jackfruit form the International market and have no clue what I have to do with it. I am too tempted to just have it as is…and also want to make something out of them
You have put me into a huge dilemma Bee 
But the best part is all my roomies hate it..so I have it all to myself 
eat it with dulce de leche or rum and raisin ice cream. make a jackfruit sundae. - b.
Ah! that anonymous was me! the one who came asking paranthas
i was posting from another computer, forgot to even sign in!!
i know, i know. i can sniff you out anywhere.
- b.
Oh Bee & Jai, such creative, revealing pics. I am now the wiser as the what the jackfruit is, inside and out.
Sadists!
6th picture is tooo much!
Awesome photos of fresh jackfruit!!! I haven’t seen that in any of the Asian stores here — only in cans. Looking forward to your JFI Jackfruit Bonanza

:yes: it is really bind blowing items
can you guys post a recipe for Jackfruit subji/shaak? When I was studying abroad in Udaipur, my host mother made me an amazing jackfruit shaak. My parents have since attempted to replicate it but failed to capture the masala correctly… but if you guys have a recipe up your sleeve, please do share!
there are a lot of jackfruit recipes here.
