1
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk.
2
The jackfruit I buy comes in 8oz DRAINED weight, and 20oz net weight. Drain, rinse and dice the jackfruit if using canned.
3
Now add the diced jackfruit and sugar to the coconut milk.
4
Cook on medium low flame, stirring often until jackfruit is tender (about 40 minutes).
5
In the last five minutes of cooking, stir in the cardamom.
6
Serve either warm or chilled.
7
NOTE: If you're able to find it, there's nothing like fresh juicy ripe jackfruit. For this dish, use firm fruit not the floppy one. Don't throw away the seeds - they can be roasted and taste somewhat like roasted chestnuts.
8
For a more authentic flavor, use homemade coconut milk and jaggery in place of brown sugar.
