RE: 🥣 Jackfruit Seed & Garlic Rasam 🧄 An Ital Veganuary Soup To Keep You Lit 🔥

Freakin awesome of you to post this recipe!
When I used to live up in Far North QLD in the Daintree Rainforest (20yrs ago), I saved my Jackfruit seeds one day thinking that they looked edible (but with no power, let alone internet, there was no way to check...) so anyway fried them up with garlic, mushrooms and a few other veg delights for a long long time, but found them to be too hard...So next time I will slice them (duh..) but how long were they in the pressure cooker for first???
Knowing how to cook them properly, I'm happy to eat them again and the soup sounds delicious too!
Bookmarked so I can make it when I get home in a couple of weeks.
@careassaktart I'm not sure if you have met @justinparke yet, but if not, as a happy vegetarian too, you might want to check out some of him and @sreypov delicious vegan/vegetarian Cambodian/Surinamese recipes like this one above! (and Bon Appetite! 😃)
Thanks @chocolatescorpi!!
Sorry your past jackfruit seed experiment didn't exactly work out, you were very close to striking gold though. When taking them from the fruit, there will be a thin fruit skin coating around the seed, and you must remove that before cooking. I like to eat them personally, but most people would just throw those fruity skins away.
After you 've got the fruit skin covering off the seeds, they are ready to be boiled or pressure cooked. I cook only for one whistle, but boiling in a normal pot would probably take 15 minutes or less. When you've cooked them, there will now be a thin shell on the seed that you can remove. You can pinch it with your fingernails to get it started, then remove the seed shell.
After that you've got something that resembles mini baked potatoes. I wanted to use them in a South Indian style rasam because I've never seen a rasam that makes use of jackfruit seeds.
Let me know how future jackfruit seed experiments go. !ENGAGE 85
Oh fantastic, thanks so much for giving me that info!
Funny as you say they look a bit like mini baked potatoes cause that's what I thought they looked like and probably why I thought that they would be edible too! lol...
Ok so outside skin off to boil, then once boiled for about 15mins, soft enough to squeeze the seed out, slice, cook and eat. Correct?
I wonder if the boiling kills the seed, otherwise it could be replanted too...?
Not sure if you drink, but I used to make Jackfruit Dacquiri's and other desserts cause raw jackfruit flavour reminds me of sweet pink bubblegum.
Now I see that it is being used in everything as a meat substitute.
Now I don't drink (so much..lol...) I would be making Jackfruit smoothies...with Pineapple, passionfruit and a dash of pink guava....hmmmm yummmm
Correct, and once they are boiled with the translucent skin removed, they are ready to be eaten. When we are lazy we sometimes just eat them with a little sea salt right after boiling. However, it makes them really tasty to stir-fry them after boiling along with other veggies you might have handy.
Jackfruit is delicious, and I think your pink bubblegum flavor reference is accurate.
Sweet!
I will let you know how I go.
Hopefully I can get a hold of a fresh one when I get back to Melbourne.
Which is literally the complete opposite end of the top of Australia where I used to just pick them from the trees...
ENGAGEtokens.
