Jackfruit season in India is during March to June. Since, I&#8217;d visited India in November I missed having ripe jackfruits that&#8217;s plucked right from the tree and also my grand mother&#8217;s jackfruit chips. I go crazy for<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/moms-jack-fruit-chips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> jackfruit chips<\/a> (raw jackfruit cut into wedges and fried in oil), nothing can beat homemade jackfruit chips. I finish a huge bag of chips in just one sitting, it&#8217;s truly hard to stop munching on it. My sister had visited Kerala recently and she got to pluck fresh jackfruit that&#8217;s grown in her husband&#8217;s parent&#8217;s backyard. She did make jackfruit fries and my niece loved it, she was more like me munching on it non-stop. We: aunt and niece have similar likes when it comes to food \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>In Kerala, some people make young jackfruit thoran or stir fry with coconut. The jackfruit is plucked when it&#8217;s still tender and is cooked. However, it wasn&#8217;t made in my house; \u00a0I have no idea why. Here, I have seen canned young jackfruit at most Indian and Asian stores. I got curious and bought a couple of cans. It had been sitting in the pantry for quite sometime. I wanted to make something out of it. Making thoran was in my mind and so tried it a few days ago. I really loved the taste of this young jackfruit stir fry. This makes a perfect veggie side dish along with rice or roti.<\/p>\n<p>If you have raw jackfruit, don&#8217;t miss frying it. It&#8217;s so crunchy and delicious. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/moms-jack-fruit-chips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recipe for making Jackfruit chips, click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17057\" alt=\"young jackfruit stir fry\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/young-jackfruit-stir-fry.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/young-jackfruit-stir-fry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/young-jackfruit-stir-fry-265x200.jpg 265w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/young-jackfruit-stir-fry-210x158.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Picture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking young jackfruit with coconut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17058\" alt=\"making young jackfruit thoran\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/making-young-jackfruit-thoran.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/making-young-jackfruit-thoran.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/making-young-jackfruit-thoran-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/making-young-jackfruit-thoran-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/young-jackfruit-thoran.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Young Jackfruit Stir fry &#8211; Or Thoran with Coconut<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Side<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For Cooking young jackfruit[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Young jackfruit, canned- 1 large can<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- a few pinches<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To grind [\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut, grated- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chili- 1 (or 2 if you need more spice)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 5 leaves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For stir frying[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chana dal- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole dry red chili- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I used canned young jackfruit, available at Indian stores.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Drain the water from the can and rinse the jackfruit under running water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You could discard any small seeds from it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a saucepan, combine the rinsed young jackfruit, turmeric power, salt along with 1\/4 cup water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook covered over medium heat till the jackfruit turns tender.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Using a fork, shred the cooked young jackfruit.
