Adgai

Last night I had been to a Satya Narayan Pooja at Wadala Matt. There they served us this dish. I am very fond of raw jackfruit and I am sure you will also like this simple pickle made from raw mango and jackfruit.

Ingredients:

500 gm green jackfruit

1 big raw mango

4 tablespoon mustard seeds

2 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon methi seeds

1 teaspoon asafetida powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

3 tablespoon red chilli powder

3 tablespoon salt

Method:

Firstly cut the raw jackfruit into small pieces and wash them. Cook the jackfruit pieces in a pressure cooker until they are tender. Dry roast the rest of the ingredients and powder them in a mixer or blender.

Secondly, make salt water for the pickle by boiling salt in sufficient amount of water. Once the water boils switch off the gas and let it cool. Mix the ground powder in the salt water and add it to the jackfruit pieces. Add the raw mango pieces and mix well and store in an airtight bottle. This pickle will last for a week or so. This is a good side dish for rice and dali thove.
