April and May is the season of mango and Jackfruits in Kerala. After eating the juicy jack fruit,  we can use the seeds in many dishes.
Here I'm making an upperi using chakkakuru(jackfruit seeds) and bitter gourd.  The bitter taste of bitter gourd and a light sweetness of the jack fruit seeds is a nice combination.

Ingredients:

chakkakuru(jackfruit seeds)

Bitter gourd         :  1 big size
Chakkakkuru       :  10 nos
Shallots                : 10 nos
Chilli pdr             : 2 tsp
Turmeric pdr       : a pinch
Salt to taste      
Oil                       : 3 tbsp



Method:


Wash and cut the bitter gourd into small pieces and keep aside.
Remove the outer skin of the chakkakuru and cut into small pieces.
In a Kadai cook this adding 1 cup of water.
When it is almost soft add the bitter gourd pieces, salt and turmeric pdr. Grind shallots and chilli pdr into a coarse paste and add this and cook again for 3 more minutes. Add oil to this and fry for 2 or 3 mins. Tasty upperi is ready!!
