FRENZIESTA

Kathal is also known as Jackfruit. I like this vegetable very much, it is an Indian vegetable, it is also known as a desi non-veg for vegetarian people, lol, but there's a little bit of problem for cutting jackfruit, otherwise it is very easy to make. But nowadays this problem has also been overcome. In many supermarkets this is available in packs of peeled and chopped, ready to cook, There are so many ways of making, but now a days everyone is health conscious, that's why we are making this sabzi without frying, it is no less than frying.
