Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk.
  2. The jackfruit I buy comes in 8oz DRAINED weight, and 20oz net weight. Drain, rinse and dice the jackfruit if using canned.
  3. Now add the diced jackfruit and sugar to the coconut milk.
  4. Cook on medium low flame, stirring often until jackfruit is tender (about 40 minutes).
  5. In the last five minutes of cooking, stir in the cardamom.
  6. Serve either warm or chilled.
  7. NOTE: If you're able to find it, there's nothing like fresh juicy ripe jackfruit. For this dish, use firm fruit not the floppy one. Don't throw away the seeds - they can be roasted and taste somewhat like roasted chestnuts.
  8. For a more authentic flavor, use homemade coconut milk and jaggery in place of brown sugar.
