Wash the mango clean and chop it into medium sized pieces. Make sure + to wipe the mango after washing, there shouldn't be water remaining + on it. +2. Take one litre water and add salt to it, boil it for about 5 + minutes. +3. Remove water from heat and add the mango slices to it immediately. + Keep the vessel aside. +4. Cut the jackfruit into medium sized pieces (You should apply oil to + your hands and the knife as the sticky latex is very hard to clean + and sometimes can be frustrating). +5. Put it in a cotton or muslin cloth and steam it. It will take + approximately 15 minutes to cook. Remove from heat and allow it + cool. + +![diced jackfruit](/img/kadgi-chakko/1.jpg) + +6. Take a frying pan. Fry the red chillies, mustard seeds, coriander + seeds, asafoetida and turmeric one at a time and keep them separate. +7. Now it's time to grind the above ingredients, Remove the mango + slices from the salt water, we will use this salt water to grind the + ingredients. First add the red chillies in the grinder and grind it + to fine paste, then add all the other ingredients and grind again. + The reason for adding the chillies first is to retain the spicy + flavour; this is what my mother told me. I always thought this is a + silly reason but it works. +8. Mix the cooked jackfruit pieces, mango and the masala that we made + in a vessel. Mix it really well and store it in a jar. + +You can try it immediately but I suggest you wait for one day.

I got the idea of starting this blog when most of my friends and neighbours started asking me about my recipes and tips to make their cooking better. I enjoyed sharing with them as I got to know how they perceived the same recipe which I thought was easy or hard and vice versa.
+I will be sharing one recipe every Sunday; I would really like to know how you make the same recipe and what is your take on it. If you want me to make something, you can mail me the name of the recipe on smitha@kamathskitchen.com. +
