Jihva for Jackfruit - Roundup

June 2, 2007 |

When we chose Jackfruit as the ingredient for Jihva for Ingredients - June, we went with gut feel and were not really sure how it would turn out. The initial set of comments from all of you seemed dichotomous (which, in hindsight, was expected) because jackfruit does evoke such strong “love it” or “hate it” emotions.

We are absolutely thrilled to present to you SEVENTY-SIX entries with 74 delicious flavours.

The response, to put it mildly, has been overwhelming and touching. Many were cooking jackfruit for the first time, some after a hiatus of several years, and some searched far and wide, traveling several miles to locate it.

What we have here is an incredible array of traditional dishes and innovative creations using green and ripe jackfruit, and jackfruit seeds.

We are very grateful to Indira of Mahanandi - the brain behind JFI - for the opportunity to host this event.

If your entry failed to show up here, it probably ended up in our spam folder. We apologise. Please contact us at jugalbandee@gmail.com, so that we could add it to the list.

- Jai and Bee

Dancing Fountain at Food for the Soul reminisces about her childhood at her grandparents’ home, where they picked jackfruit fresh off the tree and turned it into various delicacies.

Santhi of Me and my food thoughts describes how “divine intervention” and some ingenious manoeuvers helped her procure the fruit.


Coffee at The Spice Cafe gives steamy details of her love affair with the durian - ‘the other jackfruit’.

As for Jai, he almost did cartwheels when he found fresh jackfruit at the Asian grocer. He paid the price of a small animal for it, then spent the rest of the afternoon caressing it, whispering sweet nothings to it, and getting it to pose provocatively for him. See the labours of his love HERE and HERE.

  12. Nandita on June 3, 2007 2:22 am

    Bee and Jai,
    The jackfruit farmers/growers/sellers ought to pay you a tribute for bestowing so much love on this fruit, popularising it to this extent, I don’t think there’ll be a collection of so many recipes anywhere starring this fruit!
    I had great fun going through the round up and found some new food blogs to check out too….
    Hugs for that wonderful effort!

    Fantabulous roundup! To think I knew only one way of preparing this wonderful fruit/veggie!! Now I have 76 recipes to chose from - enough for a lifetime! I don’t make it more than twice a year - but that could change seeing that there are so many ways to cook it!

    Thank you, guys! And nifty script!
