    From Bangladesh: For the jack fruit seed. You need to dry them. We just keep it around the stove for couple of days, that would dry it up. Or you can lightly fry them on pan without any oil. After that pill off the shell. Now you can smash them or blend them or chop them in smaller sizes to use them as smashed dish, or in vegetable curry or in fish/meat curry. It is just delicious.

Jackfruit is actually a Sri Lankan food and the culture eating seeds also comes from Sri Lanka. But Bangladesh, India, Srilanka has the same habits of eating tender jackfruit as curry, vegetable, mash, dessert etc.

      We cook jackfruit seeds in other states of India as well. In Maharashtra, my native state, we just pressure cook the seeds with a little bit of salt, peel them off on cooling and eat them as a snack. Packed with nutrition and super tasty! :-D
      My husband is from the state of Kerala and I've recently tried Chakka Prathaman for the first time. It's made with a completely ripe jackfruit and is actually pureed in my family. A warning, however. A ripe jackfruit contains a lot of heat, and so should be eaten in moderation.

      @@rockpooladmirer there are mainly 2 divisions in bengali people (in India at least). Ghoti and bangal. Ghoti people are ancestrally from the Indian state west Bengal, while bangal people are ancestrally from what is now known as Bangladesh (which was known as east bengal, before the br*tish "people" split our country into 3). There are some cultural differences and cooking style differences in the food of bangal and ghoti people. Not very different, but enough to be noticable by the natives. Many dishes that are enjoyed by bangal people may not even be known by ghoti people. (Also there is some kind of prejudice, like if we're looking for a bride/groom for arranged marriage, even if they are a bengali, the other person being ghoti is enough for some bangal people to reject them, and vice versa.) So what I meant to say is, even though I'm an Indian bengali, I'm ancestrally bangal. So me not having heard of this dish surprised me a little.

    Hi beryl! I think the reason the Malaysian recipe didn’t work was because in Malaysia we technically have 2 different types of jackfruit - nangka (the one that you have in your video) and cempedak (a smaller jackfruit that’s sweeter). There’s actually no translation for cempedak in English, and in Malaysia when speaking English, we do refer to both fruits as jackfruit although they’re very different fruits.

      I disagree. In Malaysia, I've never heard the word 'jackfruit' being used to refer to cempedak. I've only ever seen 'jackfruit' to refer to 'nangka'. The English word for cempedak is actually just 'cempedak' or 'chempedak'. I wonder where this confusion comes from since I've never encountered it in Malaysia or anywhere else. I suspect it's a case of someone seeing a picture of cempedak being incorrectly labeled as 'jackfruit' and thinking that's the English name for it. On the outside the two fruits look similar enough that those who are not familiar with them could make that mistake.

    I'm from India and my favorite is Jackfruit chips. Here in Kerala, we cut the fruit long (like French fries) mix it with a small amount of Turmeric powder and salt and deep fry it in oil. That's my favorite chips. (Use a jackfruit just before it get ripened. you can't use ripped fruit for this)

    Hey Beryl, Malaysian here. I believe in the video that Fazah sent you, it did mention using the skin of a cempedak, which is technically not jackfruit, but within the same botanical family. The fruits are generally smaller, the colour of the flesh generally ranges from light to dark orange, almost beige sometimes. And the skin is generally floppier and softer, hence the difference in appearance as compared to jackfruit skin. I'm not sure if cempedak is available at where you are currently at right now; I've always seen Jackfruit at Chinatown markets when I was living abroad in the past, but never cempedak. Good effort though, love your videos btw. ;)

    Loved it. I am from Bangladesh and currently i live in Fiji. So it was fun to see this video as Jackfruits are truly everywhere in both countries. We Bangladeshi people do love bhorta a lot. But i would say instead of boiling the seeds you can let them dry for few days and then toast them over low heat until it gets crispy. Then use mortar and pestle to semi grind it. Then mix it with fresh coriander, onion , chili flakes and salt and of course Mustard oil. The toasting makes the seeds makes it so much more tastier. :) Try the same combination of chili, mustard oil, cilantro and salt with mashed boiled potato. Its amazing too. :) In fact you can do it with any veg or fried fish and mash it. All will taste amazing.

I am surprised that the Malaysian dish included in this dish as she said it is use a jackfruit for Mandai. I am a Banjar ethnic myself. My mom normally use a fruit that is called Cempedak.

    The turon should have a caramelized skin on it. Cook it in a wok or a frying pan instead of a deep fryer because you need to put brown sugar on the the oil that is extremely hard to clean, so that the caramelized sugar will stick on the lumpia wrapper. It will make an outer layer that is sweet and crunchy caramelized skin on the turon.

      I actually prefer cooking turon without the melted sugar on the outside because I don't like the turon to be too sweet. What I do is mix cinnamon powder with brown sugar and sprinkle that on the plantain before wrapping, then deep-frying until crisp or the plantain are somewhat caramelized. The added cinnamon actually makes the turon seem to taste sweeter but with less sugar.

    Oh my God! I am of Banjarese ethnic group and i am now currently back in my hometown in Borneo, Indonesia to research about Mandai. So... To make Mandai, here we actually use Tiwadak or Cempedak in Indonesian which is sweeter and waaaay softer than Jackfruit actually. I think this is what made you think you messed up, but it's really okay - not a lot can make good and soft Mandai here too haha! The inner parts are then fermented with salt (people say the type of salt you use may also result differently in the fermentation process) and water for a few days (or weeks, depending on the climate...?) until it softens further. When it's done right, it really tastes like stir fried chicken. It's one of my favorite food of the Banjar culture and it's not even widely known in Indonesia. So thank you sooo much for featuring Mandai, Beryl!

    Hi! I am from West Bengal, India Here we call jackfruit as "Kathal" (just like our Bangladeshi Counterparts...) Contrary to most parts of India, We consume Kathal both Ripe and Unripe, here at Bengal... and Just as Medina showed you about utilising even the Jackfruit seeds, we do that as well, its just that i personally have never tasted the recipe that Medina taught you, but I personally and generally (as is the trend in my home) have tasted Curry out of the seeds of Jackfruit....
    Jackfruit, When its ripe, we call it "Kathal"... Its super tasty and yummy and you just need to eat it just like a fruit....and then the seeds could be utilised for making a variety of stuff...(but we generally prefer sun-drying the seeds for some days befor making something from it...)
    Jackfruit When its unripe, we call it "Enchor" its outer surface is peeled and then big cube like pieces are made from it and then it is turned into a rich thick curry with potato and sometimes for those who prefer non veg , ["kucho chingri" (small Shrimps)] are added as well...
    This rich curry is so tasty, delicious and full of proteins and nutrients that sometimes we call it "Meat for the Vegeterenians" or "Vegeterian Meat"

    I think the mistake with the Malaysian dish is it's the wrong fruit. In Faiza's clips, she wrote 'cempedak'.

      Or simply collect ripe jackfruit's seeds and wash then dry in the sun like a day. Just fry them on a pan with low heat without any oil. Then peel the outer shell and eat.
      You can try unripe jackfruit pickles:
      Unripe Jackfruit cubes 2 cup
      Mustard Paste 1 tbs,
      Ginger paste 1tbs
      Garlic paste 1tbs
      Dry paprika or Paprica powder 1tbs,

      Salt (as you see fit)
      Mustard oil 1/2 cup
      seeds of black cumin, cumin, fennel, wild celery and mustard 1tbs
      You can go any South Asian shop and ask for Pachforon
      Powdered Cumin 1tbs
      How it's made:
      Heat the oil in a pan. Put all the ingredients aside from the jackfruit. keep cooking about 2/3 mins. Now put the jackfruits in them. now cook in medium heat for 5\6 mins keep stirring always. add a cup of water. Now keep a lid on that pan and cook for 25/30 mins in low heat. Stir occassionally. after 30 mins in low heat turn off the burner. Now eat. You'll love south asian cooking.

      Also, turon is usually cooked with the sugar on the outside, where it becomes a glassy shell; but I do understand that putting it in the inside probably makes clean-up way easier.

    Jackfruit is consumed in its raw and ripe form in different parts of Bengal. In Bengal, people have been making raw jackfruit cury as an vegetarian alternative for mutton cury. We Bengalis even call it the mutton of the tree.

    Maybe it's just me, but I love that you also show the mistakes you make. We've all tried to make a new dish and messed up, and you make so many amazing looking foods that sometimes I feel intimidated to recreate the recipes you've tried because I'm worried they won't turn out as good. It makes me feel better to see that even the queen messes up sometimes.

  • @hairil.sukaime
    @hairil.sukaime 3 года назад +131

    From what I can tell, the fruit used in the video for the Malaysian dish is cempedak (Artocarpus integer), which is often mistaken for jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) due to its similar appearance; which, in turn, may be why your dish looks different from the one in the video. That being said however, a quick Google search shows that both jackfruit and cempedak skins can be made into mandai and the subsequent mandai goreng.
    Despite the hiccups, it's always great to see you showcasing a variety of dishes from all across the globe! Keep doing what you do!

    As for Beryl's concerns regarding the Brazilian "Jackfruit Coxinha", the dough is absolutely cooked all the way through!
    Our "coxinha" (or really, any savoury traditional brazilian party snacks) is basically a Choux dough, consisting of flour cooked in some liquid and butter. You really cook the flour as you stir everything together in the pan, and a way to be 100000% sure it's done is by checking if a light film of dough has formed on the inside of the pan. The dough continues to cook even further as it cools down and you knead it, so theres absolutely no risk (from its very first stage) to have this dough be raw or anything!
    Enjoy!
