Kathal Bichi Bhape (Steamed Jackfruit Seeds)

Kathal Bichi Bhape....

Take fresh Jackfruit ( kathal )seeds. Wash well and dry. The seeds dry faster in the sunlight. When dry bring them in and peel the outer covering. When the outer covering is removed, a brown cover will be visible.You need to peel it off with a peeler. Cut into pieces lengthwise.Pressure cook till soft.Remove and drain the water off.

Grate half a coconut.

Grind Poppy seeds and grated coconut together with green chillies.

Mix all ingredients together with the seeds and put in an oven proof bowl in the oven  or you can put everything in a steel tiffin box. Close tightly and then steam.

  2. No,I haven't tried adding raw mustard paste to boiled seeds.But well-boiled, soft seeds can be mashed and had with raw mustard oil,green chilly paste and salt.That tastes very nice. If you have tried using mustard paste do let me know please.
