Off to today's recipe, my "chakkakuru" madness is well documented on the blog. I have already posted another recipe of Chakkakuru Ularthiyathu, but that has some masala in it. This was made with the little batch I got from home in August. I went at the time when jackfruits were at its end so mattamma (umma's mom) could only get me very little good ones, the ones that weren't sprouted yet!!! I wanted to make a curry of it but then this recipe attracted my attention that I had to make it. Since nobody at home likes it, I had it all for myself... Hehe... I know I am very late in posting this when it is out of season, but late than never! I wanted to post it as soon as it was done but alas, it sank in my drafts only to be discovered now!!!
