I’m not a big fan of jackfruit and cannot stand the smell of the ripe one. Having said that I had the opportunity to try raw jackfruit Thai curry during my visit to Thailand and loved it. Jackfruit Shahi Kofta Curry looks so tempting. I’d love to try this recipe out whenever I get raw jackfruit.
Absolutely right Mayuri the ripen jackfruit has a strong sweet smell and I so love it. Love to eat it just like that.

I grew up in Northern India and that is where I first experienced eating raw jackfruit. It became my absolute favorite and look forward to eating it again and again. I have not tasted the koftas and I am tempted to give these a try. I might try to make it with the canned ones that we get here.
My experience with jackfruit started after my marriage Sandhya.Here in Mumbai we get in abundance. It’s become my absolute favourite too.
The kofta curry is worth trying.
Thank you for stopping by.
