Kathal Bhurtha/Bhartha
Jack fruit/kathal is eaten as vegetable as well as fruit too. Fresh one is used as vegetable while ripen one is used as vegetable. It is full of fibers. Its peeling, chopping is difficult job, nevertheless it is a delicious vegetable. I remember, when I first time cut it, my hands were became sticky. It was not only with me, but many of us find it boring, when it comes to its cutting. Then some one told me to apply some oils on hands and knife before its cutting. I have earlier written the recipe of boiled kathal sabzi and parantha. Today I have made its bhurtha. Here below is the recipe of Kathal bhurtha:
400 gms of Jack fruit
salt to taste
1 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 small stick of dalchini
2 cloves
2 bay leaves
5 tbsp of oil
pinch of hing
1/2 tsp of red chili powder
1 tbsp of coriander powder
1/2 cup of frozen peas
1 big onion (finely chopped)
Paste of 4 tomatoes
1 tbsp of grated ginger
1 finely chopped green chili
2 tbsp of finely chopped drum stick leaves
1finely chopped tomato
Method
1. 1. Smear oil on hands and knife.This step is very necessary to tackle the problem of latex or sticky and milky substance.2. Take the raw jack fruit which is available in the market for making sabzi etc. Peel it and cut into pieces. While cutting, peel its seeds too with knife. If it is tender then no need to peel it off.3. Now take this kathal into pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and little salt. I boiled it in hawkins pressure cooker of 3 liters. When it comes on full pressure and first whistle comes, keep the flame on sim for 1 minute. Now remove from heat. We need completely cool boiled kathal. When it gets cooled, mash it with the back of big spoon. If boiling on hotplate, then remove form it to avoid overcooking as the hotplate remains hot for a long time.
4. Add finely chopped onion and ginger and make it translucent or very light brown.
5. Now add tomatoes paste, turmeric, salt, red chili powder and coriander powder and cook it till oil separates.
6. Mash the boiled kathal. This is the time to put boiled and mashed kathal (no water) and stir.
7. Cook it on slow heat for few minutes till oil can be seen around the sabzi. After that add peas and stir. Again cook for few minutes.
8. Mix finely chopped drumstick leaves,tomato strips and green chili and stir.
9. Delicious kathhal ka bhurtha is ready to serve.
