It's my favorite - a very tasty curry which I often make. Goes with plain, sambhar, rasam, or yogurt rice great.
Sometimes I feel why it's only available for a short period. But you know one thing, waiting for the next season thinking about the lingering taste.........a great experience. May sound silly - but we may learn to be more patient than when you get everything at any time of the year.

Tender jackfruit - 2 cups
