Palakkai Pirattal (Baby Jack Fruit Masala)
Ingredients
Baby jack fruit (cut as shown in the picture)
Potato-1
Big onion-1
Tomato-1
To Grind
Coconut grated-3 table spoons
Red chilli-5
Pottukadalai-1 table spoon
Cashwes-4(optional)
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
To season
Cinamon-2 small pieces
Cloves-2
Cardomom-2
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
Procedure
Peel off the skin from the baby jack fruit and cut as shown. Cut the potato also in the same size. Chop the onion and tomatoes also. In a small cooker or pressure pan cook the cut jack fruit and potatoes for 1 whistle in high flame. This will get cooked fast and will get smashed if over cooked. So if you are not sure when to switch off then cook it in microwave or in a kadai in such a way that the pieces are just correctly cooked. Grind the items given in ‘To grind’ to a smooth paste.
Now keep the kadai in the stove.In two tablespoons of oil season the curry with the items given in’ To season’. Add the onions and tomatoes and sauté nicely till oil separates. Now add the grinded masal and salt needed also and sauté till it gets cooked well and oil separates in medium fire. Add ¼ cup of water to this and put the cooked baby jack fruit and potato pieces. Mix everything nicely in such a way that you don’t smash the pieces and cook in medium fire for 5 to 7 minutes till oil separates.

I would like to taste the curry probably when i visit India, I will make this curry. Very different one!
Hi Aachi,
Superb recipe, is it ok if I use poppy seeds instead of coconut?
Do reply. Thank you.
Raji
Raji ,To have good masal coating on the pieces only we are using cocunut.So to have enough masal I feel you need cocunut.Poppy seed can substitute pottukadalai or cashews and not cocunut.As far as fat content is concerned poppy seeds is more fatty than cocunut I guess
Yes Cham.Neyveli is just 1 1/2 hours drive from Pondichery.So you should surely make a trip to neyveli.I will give you a treat with all the chettinad delicacies possible dear
Never tried jack fruit in any recipe. Looks yummy.
Thanks a lot aachi, I never knew that poppy seed has more fat content than coconut. Maybe I will start using a little of coconut. Thanks again...
Hi Aachi, tried lots of your recipes...delicious.
will try this when i can get hold of palakkai.
can you please post the recipe for chettinad biryani. thanks.Ramya
Hey, I'm just learning some recipes, and I have to say I really like your blog. It also helps that I miss Asian food a lot!
Happy New Year to u and ur family, Aunty !
Hello achi,
Wishing you and your family a very happy new year.
I am so facinated by your blog that i am trying out your recipies one by one daily. I prepared your chicken rasam when my husband had cold and of course it vanished the next day and the dish too came out so well. yesterday I tried chumma kozhambu and my god so tasty it was. thank you so much for sharing the recipies.

anitha
Baby jack fruit sounds intriguing. I'll try to have my Mom make it as its not available where I live.
May I add a suggestion to the list of items you are making? The next time you fry up some snacks that can be stored for few weeks(like murukku), will you post recipes for them? My friends and I would very much like to try snacks made at home.
HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES AACHI AND GOOD WISHES TO YOUR FAMILY....

I ud definetely try this recipe, during my next visit to India.
1. His Holiness Sri Sri Selvam Siddhar isa Nagarthar from Kilasevalpatti, India. The 1st and the only nagartahr in the world who doanted RS 101 Crores to build a Temple in USA and Rs 500 Crores to build a Medical university in Caribbean
His Holiness Sri Sri “SELVAM SIDDHAR” also known as Dr. COMMANDER SELVAM is a divine personality, a great scholar. He is initiated by his Guru Sri Sri Chinnappa Siddhar, a powerful Atharva Vedic Swamiji from Kerala , India , and now he is managing Sri Akasthiyar Siddhar Peedam as the Madathipathi after Sri Sri Chinnappa Siddhar.
Siddhar Selvam was writing about the Vedic Astrological Science for numerous papers in North America , and he was the only Swamiji writing for many newspapers from East coast to West coast. He is famously known and respected by his followers as “Siddhar”, “Commander” and “Dr.” He is the only Swamiji in the world, who served in the police Department. He served as the first youngest Area Commander for Home Guards in Chennai City , Tamil Nadu, and India .
Sri Sri Selvam “Siddhar” helps the human mankind to come out different problems in the life through Vedic Rituals. “Siddhar” is the only living “Siddhar” and Swamiji in USA with the Atharva Veda background.
The only Yaksha Devatha Upaasaka among the swamijis. Siddhar Selvam is trained by his Guru in all the SAPTHA RISHI JYOTHISHAM. After mastering the Jyothisham and Thantra, He is assisted by a lot of full time pundits, and he has trained them in all the Thantras.
Akasthiyar Siddhar peedam in India employed with a lot of full time Priests/Pundits in their different centers in th e world. Also the only Ashram which performs lot of Yagnas / Homams / Havans per day in their different centers in the world for their followers and devotees.
The only Indian spiritual leader presently in USA . specialized in the occult sciences and the only qualified scholar to settle the problems like strange behavior, evil spirit’s attack, Deadly spirits’ attachment, Black Magic, Jadoo, Voodoo, Strange talks, Continuous Bad luck, Blockage in the Success, Sudden downfall in the Business / Job / Life. Astral travelling, etc. He is not a usual Astrologer; however he is a Master in the same subject. Astrologers are like school graders and he is playing the role of the Master in the same field. The Master Degree Holder could act as an school graders at any time whereas, the school graders cannot and should not act as a Master Degree Holder without any proper training.
Astrology is only a tool to analyze the problem and no one could change some one’s life for a few hundreds of Dollar s. Like lot of funny so called Astrologers and Swamijis saying, by wearing some kinds of Gem in ring for our finger, one’s life could be changed immediately, then only the Jewelers are the only Gods in the world. Does any body could spend money to buy the Good luck? No it’s impossible!!
Yes that’s right it’s impossible in the World! The purity in the mind and the actions only, would make some one as the greatest personality in the world. That’s why Swamiji always tells to his followers that “YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE ACCORDING TO YOUR THOUGHTS”. Also he often says that if you want to cash out your Punya/ blessings, you could certainly do so, however if you want to buy Punya/Blessings with the money, certainly it is impossible.
As said by our Swamiji Sri Sri Selvam “Siddhar”, the real fact is that, the Karma cannot be changed, where as we could admit our Karma in a comfortable way and our Swamiji the only Swamiji in USA is specialized in the same subjec t. Most of the Swamijis when coming to USA, they come with some kinds of message or some kinds of Expertise, where as our Swamiji came to USA with his fullest blessings of the Angels (Yaksha Devathaas) and fully with the knowledge of the Atharva Veda. It is also the fact that Atharva Veda is the only Veda that deals with the application part of the Yantra, Thantra, Mantra and its application part.
Swamiji always says that we need to be blessed before we bless someone. Swamiji always boldly says that he is doing business with god, with a meaning that, hardly Swamiji comes to USA just to serve or help someone. Most of them come to USA only for money or for better living. This cannot be and should not be forgotten. However lot of Swamijis, when they visit USA they would always say that, they came here to bless their community or people. If a Swamiji is coming all the way from India, or any where else, why he/she cannot first bring forward or settle the problems of thousands of people who need help in their mother land itself before entering in to USA?. Several persons do not know how to make t heir life comfortable but comes out under the name of swamiji and say that, they could give comfort to others.
They may be presenting numerous charitable ideas when they collect money. However, according to the Veda a Swamiji/Saadhu (a spiritual person) means, a person, who don’t have any kind of material desire in his/her life. It would be very hard to see those kind of people through our naked eyes. . Even in his past, he has helped a lot of Swamijis to settle their own personal problems as an Atharva Vedic scholar.
Swamiji His Holiness Sri Sri Selvam”Siddhar “ is the 1st Indian in the whole Hindu Lineage and Tamilian to build the ONLY SHIVA TEMPLE IN THE WORLD WITH 108 SHIVA IMAGES. The only youngest “Siddhar” Swamiji in North America with the highest number of followers. Swamiji is now building the most expensive Hindu Temple in Norcross , Georgia- USA
The following are the few of the area in the human life, for which. Sri Sri Selvam “Siddhar’ (DR. COMMANDER SELVAM) is giving Vedic and Spiritual Advice all over the world.
