Chettinad Palakkai Masala palakkai curry

Palakkai is a traditional vegetable which is in use mostly in chettinad only. It is known as baby jack fruit or raw jack fruit. Though it is used vastly in Kerala it is also much in use in chettinad especially in the marriage lunch. Palakkai masala is a traditional recipe in Chettinad cuisine. Now a days it is being sold in big veg shops in Chennai also. The most commonly prepared recipes are palakkai masala or pirattal, palakkai poriyal, palakkai kootu, Palakkai kurma and palakkai kola urundai. We will see these recipes later.
