Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies

Now I am posting a few recipes on young jackfruit. Young jack fruit is also called as Pala moosu and palakkai in Tamil.

PALAMOOSU PORIYAL: [YOUNG JACK FRUIT PORIYAL]
Ingredients:
A small palamoosu-1, shredded coconut-1/2 cup, chopped onion- 1 cup, chopped small onions- ½ cup, chopped green chillies-2tsp, mustard seeds- 1tsp, black gram- 1tsp, chopped coriander leaves- ½ cup, salt to taste, oil- 3tbsp, turmeric powder- ½ tsp, curry leaves- a handful.
Powder coarsely the following ingredients:
Cloves-2, cinnamon-2 pieces, fennel seeds- 1tsp
Procedure:
Remove the hard outer layer of the palakkai with the help of a sharp knife. Cut it into 2 pieces. Remove the center bone which is in white colour. Then cut the whole palakkai into 1” cubes. Cook them in plenty of water until and drain the water completely. Put 2 or 3 pieces in a miixi and run the mixi just for a second. You can get a nicely shredded palakkai. Thus shred all the cooked pieces. If you run the mixi for more than a second, the outcome will be sticky.
Heat a kadai and pour the oil. When the oil becomes hot, add the mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the black gram and the curry leaves and fry them for a few seconds. Now add the chopped onions, the sambar onions, green chillies, chopped coriander leaves and the ground powder and fry them to a golden brown colour. Now add the shredded palakkai with the turmeric powder and enough salt and mix well. Fry on a slow fire for 10 minutes. When ever thing is combined well, add the shredded coconut and mix well.
PALAKKAI VADAI:
Ingredients:
Small palamoosu-1, turmeric powder- ½ tsp, lentils- ½ cup, Bengal gram- ½ cup, red chillies-8, fennel seeds- 1 tsp, cumin seeds- ½ tsp, chopped onion- 1 cup, chopped coriander leaves- ½ cup, curry leaves- a handful, salt to taste, enough oil to fry
Procedure:
Shred the palakkai following the procedure in the above recipe. Then run the mixi for an additional second so that the palakkai will be sticky and will have a ground texture. Soak the dals for an hour and grind them with the fennel and cumin seeds and the red chillies to a coarse paste. Add the palakkai to this paste with the chopped ingredients, turmeric powder and enough salt. Mix well and make small balls out of them. Flatten them into vadais and deep fry them in hot oil to a golden brown colour.
