The Mango Jackfruit Salsa
After a long hiatus "I AM BACK". In actual fact Beardo and Family have been busy since last November. It was my niece's wedding in Pallakad, India, followed by a reception in Segamat, Malaysia. After that, the long overdue attention to the kitchen was set in motion. As with all renovation work it will start with one and it builds over time with new ideas.
As you can see, we gave our kitchen a retro look with a meatsafe (managed to get a 50 year old from Kajang) and a retrofitted sewing machine as a water corner. Even the pot/pans hanger is a salvaged balinese door head and another piece of wood salvaged from and old rubber sheet smoking contraption.
Ok enough of the tour, lets get to business.
To make this salsa we need one green mango, 6 - 7 ripened jackfruit, one large onion, 6 clove of garlic, 2 - 3 red chillies, all to be sliced thin.
Ingredient for the Salsa
Heat wok with coconut oil, and tranfer the garlic first, followed by the onions, and stir for about 2 minutes. Then transfer the sliced mango, stir well for another 2 minutes then add the sliced jackfruit and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. Finally top it of with the sliced chillies and continue to stir. Btw after more tha 20 years using an electric stove, we have returned to gas. It has a different feel though.

And for the tempering, heat coconut oil and add mustard seed, urad dhall, and let it splutter. Then add 2 spoons (add more if you want it spicier) of chilly powder and stir well. For a rich flavour add 2 spoons of ghee and allow it to give a caramalised feel.

Once the chilly tempering gives a nice body, transfer it to the wok and stir well, allowing the paste to blend well. Finally add salt for taste and stir well. Before removing salsa from the stove, take a spoon of palm sugar or jaggery add to the prep.
