Kadgi chakko(Tender jack vegetable)
Kadgi means raw jackfruit.This is a popular GSB dish prepared in most of the GSB household during the jack season.Best combination with this dish is Dhali thoy.Cutting jack is an art.It contains milky sticky gum and one has to cut it very carefully.We use an Indian knife(Adoli) to cut this vegetable/fruit.Refer Wiki for further information.To cut the Jack,spread a thick disposable plastic sheet or old newspapers before you start cutting the vegetable.Apply generous amount of coconut oil to your hands and knife before cutting to prevent the messy gum.Please take care of your dress too.Cut it into half,peel the skin and cut it into desired sized pieces.For kadgi chakko we have to cut the jack into small medium sized pieces.I will update with stepwise pictures in the coming days.
