How to prepare Chakkakuru Manga Thoran

1. Peel the skin of Jack fruit seeds, wash them thoroughly under running water and cut them into equal slices, length wise or in cubes.


2. Wash the raw mango and remove its skin as well. Cut the mango into small pieces of equal sizes.


3. Wash and chop the green chillies and garlic cloves.


4. Grind the grated coconut, chopped green chillies and garlic, turmeric powder, salt and red chilly powder along with little water. Keep this paste aside.


5. Take a pan or kadai and heat it. Put the sliced Jack fruit seeds into it and pour water to it. Close the lid and allow it to cook in low flame for few minutes.


6. Once the Jack fruit seeds are half cooked, add the raw mangoes along with the paste into it. Mix well and allow it to get cooked well.


7. Meanwhile take another pan and pour coconut oil into it. Splutter the mustard seeds and then add the dried red chillies and curry leaves into it.


8. Add this mixture into the main dish and stir thoroughly.

Garnishing Tips

Tips and Tricks

• The cooking time required for both Jack fruit seed and Raw mango is different, hence only add the raw mangoes when the seeds are half cooked. Otherwise the mango slices will be over cooked and will stick on to the seeds.


• At the end instead of adding mustard seeds, dried red chilly, curry leaves etc, you can just pour some coconut oil and add curry leaves on top of it. Stir well and off the flame.


• This dish can be tried without adding raw mango slices as well. Mango gives more of a sour taste to the dish.
