I have never had chakkai kurma.....ithuvey muthal murai....:-)

Mrs. Mano,

Green Thokku looks like the next thing I will be preparing as one of the side dishes . The recipe looks great.!!
Next time when I get Mint , I will surely try and post the feedback.
I think it would taste great with plain steaming rice.

Dear Suvai!

This palakkai kuruma is more suitable for chappathi though it will be delicious to eat with a combination of ghee rice and any varuval, like chicken fry or potato fry. And it is also suitable for dosai, idiyappam and idli. But the palakkai must be cut in to small pieces to accompany with the tiffin items. I am not sure about the texture of tinned raw jackfruit as I have never used it. So take an extra care when using the tinned vegetable as they are very soft.

Respected Mr.Trivedi!

The taste of this green thokku will be delicious if we use tender coriander leaves[the leaves which have short stems]. And this will accompany well with thayir sadham also.

Dear Mrs.Mano, amma prepared the white biriyani yday & it turned out good. Thanks a lot for the recipe!!!...:)

Dear Mrs mano,
Thank u for giving your suggestion. Tonite namma veetila onga chakkai kurma thaan nga we had it with chapathi...& it was out of this world!!!...very delicious ....I am sure it would taste even better if one uses raw chakkai than canned ones.
Thank u nga once again for all your lovely recipes & input.....:-)

Thank u Mrs Mano i loved the recipe
I will try it and let u know once i get hold of palakkai in the grocery store
