Enchor-er Tarkari /Green Jackfruit Curry/Kathal ki Sabzi – Cooked Satvik Style…no onion, no garlic


It was in my mind I had shared this curry recipe on my blog. But lo behold! This recipe was missing. Pictures were the old ones sitting in the photo album doing nothing but waiting for justice to be done to them by me in writing about them. I think at times…you can say it is a joke…photos also like to be seen by others as those in the photos like to be seen too.

Anyway, as summer draws in Enchor/Kathal/green jackfruit is available in the market. In its green form Bengalis address this fruit as enchor…na na na is not a fruit when it is served as a curry…sobji go sobji says the Bangali Bou… enchor and not kanthal. It is known as kanthal once the fruit ripens…a taste, flavor and smell of its own…some cannot bear the strong smell of this ripe fruit. The ripe one is good to taste and the seeds from it are dried and kept for later use. The seeds are used for cooking in curries or can be fried which gives the crunch and bite.
