Stir friedYoung Jack fruit

Last week at the indian store I saw a young jack fruit. I knew it was lot of work cuting it but since I have'nt had this in over 20 years I decided to buy it. Of course it was bit hard to cut in half. once the chopping part was over It took no time to cook and was soo good.
 I remember having a jack fruit tree back home the fruits were ripe and birds will eat half of it. No body wanted it.  I did'nt know the value of  or how tasty it  was at the time untill I spent $10 last week.

Green young Jack fruit               1
Mustard seeds                           1/2 tsp
Onion                                         1 medium
Curry leaves                                3
Green chili  sliced                        2
Red chili flakes                             1/2 tsp
Coconut oil                                  2 tbsp
Grated coconut                           3/4 cup


Wash and skin, the top skin off  of the jack fruit. cut the fruit in to half. You need a sharp knife to do this. Now chop the fruit as small as you can. if the seeds are tough be sure to peel them before chopping. The Hard part is over.
Heat the oil in a large wok Splutter mustard seeds,add 1 tbsp chopped onion curry leaves and green chili , red chili flakes fry until onion turns translucent.  add the chopped jack fruit grated coconut onion and turmeric mix well.
Add enough water cover with a lid and cook well for about 10- 15 minutes under medium heat stirring in between.
