Picking fresh jackfruit for this dish – kadgi gashi kadgi gashi kadgi gashi kadgi gashi kadgi

This curry kadgi gashi is best made with tender raw jackfruits. Most tender ones aren’t preferred. This meal may be made using tender raw jackfruits or raw jackfruits that aren’t entirely grown or mature. You can tell what stage of growth raw jackfruit is in by looking at its size and the thorns on the peel. On the peel of tender raw jackfruits, there are small thorns that are extremely close together. The thorns become bigger and further apart as they develop.  

Choose raw jackfruits in photo 1 above raw jackfruits in photo 2: The thorns on the raw jackfruit skin in photo 1 indicate that the fruit is still growing and has not yet ripened.

Pick raw jackfruit with seeds that are still tender and developing.

You’ll need the following ingredients to prepare raw jackfruit:

• A sharp sickle (known in Konkani as koithi) or knife.
• There are plenty of fresh newspapers.
• Grease your palms, knives, and cooker with coconut oil or any other oil.
• Several dishes to store chopped raw jackfruits and the skin that has been discarded.
• Paper towels

Method of Preparation:

Preparing jackfruit in its uncooked state:

1. On the floor or at your table, spread down three layers of newspapers. It’s a nuisance to wipe jackfruit sap off the floor or table afterwards.

2. To keep jackfruit gum from adhering to your knife/sickle blade and your hands, apply a sufficient quantity of oil to your knife/sickle blade and your hands. 

3. Cut the raw jackfruit in half through the center, wiping away the white sap with a tissue paper.

4. Cut it into half more finely. Depending on the size of the item, cut it into half. Using tissue papers, wipe away the sticky sap. In Konkani, these halves are known as’shedo.’ 

Clean the jack fruit with a paper towel if it has extra gum seeping out. Alternatively, it will make your cutting board sticky and dirty.

5. Remove the inner, center, ridge section of the jackfruit, but leave a thin layer so that the inner compartments are kept together securely and do not dissolve completely.

The firm, white part at the top of each slice is the inner jackfruit core.

6. Next, cut raw jackfruit into cubes and place them in a dish with water.

7. Constraints Cook them for 1 whistle with salt and 1 cup of water. Raw jackfruit should not be overcooked. We’re looking for soft, well-cooked jackfruit. They lose their form and dissolve if they are overcooked.

When cooking raw jackfruit, add 2 tablespoons of oil to make cleaning your pressure cooker easier afterwards. Gum will not cling to your stove if you use oil.

Raw jackfruit that has been cooked looks like this:

8. Place cooked raw jackfruit in a cooking pot with the liquid used to prepare it.

9. To speed up the cooking of chickpeas, soak them overnight. If you forgot to soak them the night before, you may add hot boiling water and set them aside for 30 minutes to several hours (depending on how much time you have) to speed up the soaking process. This method works with all whole grains, including dried peas, black eyed peas, green gram, and other pulses. In half an hour, they’ll be ready to cook. They’ll cook quicker if you soak them for longer.

10. Intensity Chickpeas should be cooked for 3-4 whistles with 1.5 cup of water till done. If you add salt to them while they’re under pressure, they won’t cook.

11. Place cooked chickpeas in the cooking pot with cooked raw jackfruit, along with the liquid used to prepare them.

Meanwhile, prepare the curry’s coconut masala.

Masala preparation:

12. In a tempering pan, fry dried red chilies for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic. To help the frying process, add a few droplets of oil.

13. Allow cooked red chillies to cool fully before grinding them into a fine pulp with 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds, shredded coconut, tamarind, and salt, using just as much water as needed.

14. Mix this ground masala well with the cooked raw jackfruit and chickpeas in the cooking pot.

15. If necessary, add approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup water to thin the curry to a gravy consistency. This curry is typically medium to semi-thick in consistency. 

Also, since the curry thickens with time, you may keep it a bit runny at first.

16. Taste and adjust the salt. Allow the curry to come to a boil.

17. Once the curry has to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes, or until the rawness of the masala has dissipated. Then turn off the heat.

Seasoning:

18. In a tempering pan, heat the oil and add the remaining mustard seeds. When they start to sputter, throw in the curry leaves and cook for a few seconds.

19. Take it off the heat and stir in this spice to the curry.  

20. Serve the curry immediately with a warm dish of rice.

---

Side note: If you require a thicker curry, like the kind served at temple events, weddings, and festivals, you may do one of the following three things:

a. When grinding the masala, add a few rice grains. b. Stir in the rice flour, making sure there are no clumps of rice flour in the curry. After that, bring the curry to a boil. b. While grinding the masala, add a few cooked chickpeas.
