Heat coconut oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, lentils and curry leaves. Let them splutter, then include shreds of raw jackfruit. Add turmeric powder and some water. Stir well.

Cover it with lid and cook for about 10 minutes or until the veggie is soft. Include salt, jaggery and tamarind water. Continue cooking for few more minutes.

Next add coconut, mustard seeds and red chillies to the mixer. Grind them together to coarse paste. Add this to cooked veggie in the pan. Mix well and cook for few seconds. Switch it off once done.
