How we make the Jackfruit Pickle:
Our Kathal Ka Achar’s recipe is inspired from the traditional Maithil learnings handed to us over generations.
- The pickling process begins with washing, peeling, and the Kathal. The Jackfruit is then cut into small pieces, cleaned, and put out in the sun,for 8 hours, till the moisture dries up.
- The small pieces are put over steam for 10-15 minutes, so that they get softened.
- Thereafter, salt and turmeric are added, and the mixture is left for 24 hours.
- The spices are added along with the mustard oil. After a thorough round of mixing, the pickle vessel is kept out in the sun for 5-7 days.
- When the jackfruit softens, the pickle is ready and stored in martaban / glass jars.
