Chakkakuru Mezhukuperrutti~Stir Fried Jack Fruit Seeds

This is one dish my mom's elder sister is a pro at! I love the way Remaniammama makes her chakkakuru mezhukkuperruti. I have eaten her dish way too many times, for sure I love the way she does it because there is alot more love added when she does it for us!


Ingredients:
Jack fruit Seeds - 400gms
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
Garlic - 8 pods, chopped finely
Coconut Slivers (Thengakothu) - 1/4cup
Water - 1/4cup
Salt to taste


Peel the white outer cover off the jack fruit seeds. Then soak them in water for about 2 hours and then remove the brown layer. Alternatively the seeds could be pressure cooked in water and salt for a speedy process. Once the brown layer is off, cut them lengthwise. Into a pan, pour some oil and tip in the garlic and saute for a minute. Add in the jack fruit seeds, along with the turmeric, chili powder,coconut slivers and salt if not added.Saute for about 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add about a quarter cup water. Cover and cook till the seeds are al-dente. Once the water is evaporated, fry the seeds till they are slightly crispy. Check for seasoning and add more salt if required.
