Hello friend how are you doing

[@MohammadArifRahim]

From Bangladesh: For the jack fruit seed. You need to dry them. We just keep it around the stove for couple of days, that would dry it up. Or you can lightly fry them on pan without any oil. After that pill off the shell. Now you can smash them or blend them or chop them in smaller sizes to use them as smashed dish, or in vegetable curry or in fish/meat curry. It is just delicious.

I’m a Malaysian. So basically, I’d love to eat the ripe jackfruit. It really is delicious! But my mother, always cook an unripe jackfruit as a curry dish. It is called “Gulai Nangka”. That was yummy! Ripe jackfruit also can be use as a sweet dish, such as kuih’s, chips, jackfruit fritters. I am surprised that the Malaysian dish included in this dish as she said it is use a jackfruit for Mandai. I am a Banjar ethnic myself. My mom normally use a fruit that is called Cempedak. Kinda similar to jackfruit. But it should’nt be used a jackfruit. 🥲

[@AbdulKareemAbdulRahman]

[@Mrs.selvam]

As a Malaysian I prefer ripe jackfruit 😀

[@aryw8634]

Gulai nangka from Restoran Padang the best hehe...

[@nenabunena]

As a filipino I understood the name, in filipino that dish would probably be translated as gulay langka

[@marybritneya.atillo1155]

"Gulai Nangka" sounds like a combination of our filipino words "Gulay" meaning vegetable and "Nangka" meaning Jackfruit! It reminds me of the jackfuit soup my mom makes where she takes unripe jackfruit and turn it into a soul mixed with coconut milk.

[@drobvensick]

The turon should have a caramelized skin on it. Cook it in a wok or a frying pan instead of a deep fryer because you need to put brown sugar on the the oil that is extremely hard to clean, so that the caramelized sugar will stick on the lumpia wrapper. It will make an outer layer that is sweet and crunchy caramelized skin on the turon.

[@AdlenDelMundo]

its so easy to clean. just need to boil water on the pan or the fryer that you used and the caramelized sugar will melt.

[@onthemark19]

I actually prefer cooking turon without the melted sugar on the outside because I don't like the turon to be too sweet. What I do is mix cinnamon powder with brown sugar and sprinkle that on the plantain before wrapping, then deep-frying until crisp or the plantain are somewhat caramelized. The added cinnamon actually makes the turon seem to taste sweeter but with less sugar.

[@jshu-_-]

This is the easy cleanup version. It's nearly just as good tbh

I'm from India and my favorite is Jackfruit chips. Here in Kerala, we cut the fruit long (like French fries) mix it with a small amount of Turmeric powder and salt and deep fry it in oil. That's my favorite chips. (Use a jackfruit just before it get ripened. you can't use ripped fruit for this)

[@hairil.sukaime]

From what I can tell, the fruit used in the video for the Malaysian dish is cempedak (Artocarpus integer), which is often mistaken for jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) due to its similar appearance; which, in turn, may be why your dish looks different from the one in the video. That being said however, a quick Google search shows that both jackfruit and cempedak skins can be made into mandai and the subsequent mandai goreng. Despite the hiccups, it's always great to see you showcasing a variety of dishes from all across the globe! Keep doing what you do!

[@Divionist]

Yea, I think that seems to be the case here. Beryl's videos got me wanting to try out some a ton of different ethnic dishes(from restaurants lol)

[@LYWang-tp8tx]

Yes! That's what I thought. Even Malaysians get it wrong sometimes. Cempedak =/= jackfruit (Nangka)

[@premananthini1626]

Perhaps cempedak goreng is shared since it's easy to make... jackfruit fritters probably Beryl would enjoy ... nevertheless, TQ for trying out Beryl...hope you could redo the recipe at your convenient time and do let us know how it taste....

Hey Beryl! I am from Kerala in India and when I saw you making the jackfruit payasam I felt so happy. I am so glad you tried it, this dish definitely brings me memories of when me my grandma and the whole family gathered together and ate jackfruit together

[@butter2058]

Hi! I am from West Bengal, India Here we call jackfruit as "Kathal" (just like our Bangladeshi Counterparts...) Contrary to most parts of India, We consume Kathal both Ripe and Unripe, here at Bengal... and Just as Medina showed you about utilising even the Jackfruit seeds, we do that as well, its just that i personally have never tasted the recipe that Medina taught you, but I personally and generally (as is the trend in my home) have tasted Curry out of the seeds of Jackfruit.... Jackfruit, When its ripe, we call it "Kathal"... Its super tasty and yummy and you just need to eat it just like a fruit....and then the seeds could be utilised for making a variety of stuff...(but we generally prefer sun-drying the seeds for some days befor making something from it...) Jackfruit When its unripe, we call it "Enchor" its outer surface is peeled and then big cube like pieces are made from it and then it is turned into a rich thick curry with potato and sometimes for those who prefer non veg , ["kucho chingri" (small Shrimps)] are added as well... This rich curry is so tasty, delicious and full of proteins and nutrients that sometimes we call it "Meat for the Vegeterenians" or "Vegeterian Meat" I hope you explore more of the Bengali cuisine in future... of both the East and the West of Bengal..... take love :)

Maybe it's just me, but I love that you also show the mistakes you make.

It makes me feel better to see that even the queen messes up sometimes.

[@ryadesilva7976]

@Beryl Shereshewsky this is so well done and thank you for this! Pretty brave of you to tackle jackfruit for it could be pretty daunting even for the pros let alone the uninitiated! Sri Lanka has many amazing jackfruit dishes including a velvety creamy coconut jackfruit curry which tastes like comfort food from heaven with white rice and you may want to check that out. P.S. the jackfruit you got there was a bit too underripe for sweet dishes and overripe for savory dishes- the biggest challenge here in the US getting the right jackfruit for your dish. It ripens very fast once plucked so I usually let it ripe to the right consistency to make sweet dishes. Next to impossible to use store bought jackfruit for savory dishes unless you have your own tree. However if it's a dish with seeds like that awesome recipe from Bangladesh, the ripeness of the fruit doesn't make a difference.

[@MailaDR]

I agree with you about the jackfruit being underripe. I think if she bought the smaller version, the skin and fruit would have produced better results. When I was younger, I would hate the syrupy jackfruit from the jars sold in stores. The texture seemed so slimy and stringy for me. I actually love eating the fruit straight from jackfruit!

Here in Honduras we have a dish with yuca, called "yuca con chicharrón" it's boiled yuca pieces with fried pork rinds, and a salad of cabbage, tomato and onion with spices and vinegar, sometimes we serve it with a tomato based red sauce, and also communities in the north coast have a yuca bread called "cassabe" made of yuca flour and with a strong garlic flavor

Coxinhas are a HUGE thing in Brazil! Like she said, they're usually made with chicken (coxinha means little thigh, like a little chicken thigh and hence, the shape...) and sometimes with a Brazilian creamy cheese too! DELICIOUS! Thanks for showing this! I've never tried one of jackfruit myself. I'm going to look for one now! I LOVE the Brazilian woman and how she talked! Thanks for repping so good!!!!! When she said, "Enjoy your coxinha!" I could hear the happiness in her voice!

Vende em lojas veganas. Algumas são MUITO gostosas, mas outras não (falando da minha experiência de 5 anos de vegetarianismo) acaba dependendo do tempero do local. Antes de virar vegetariana eu nunca tinha provado também, mas a vontade de coxinha não sumiu quando eu parei de comer carne 🤭🤭

[@mangojuiced136]

Hi beryl! I think the reason the Malaysian recipe didn’t work was because in Malaysia we technically have 2 different types of jackfruit - nangka (the one that you have in your video) and cempedak (a smaller jackfruit that’s sweeter). There’s actually no translation for cempedak in English, and in Malaysia when speaking English, we do refer to both fruits as jackfruit although they’re very different fruits.

Same in Bangladesh. We have two versions. A smaller, sweeter and softer jackfruit and a larger, harder and less sweet one. But we call them both as "kathal"

[@kyratvh]

In Brasil we also have 2 tipes of it. We call it jaca dura (hard jackfruit) and jaca mole (soft jackfruit).

[@firelunamoon]

I disagree. In Malaysia, I've never heard the word 'jackfruit' being used to refer to cempedak. I've only ever seen 'jackfruit' to refer to 'nangka'. The English word for cempedak is actually just 'cempedak' or 'chempedak'. I wonder where this confusion comes from since I've never encountered it in Malaysia or anywhere else. I suspect it's a case of someone seeing a picture of cempedak being incorrectly labeled as 'jackfruit' and thinking that's the English name for it. On the outside the two fruits look similar enough that those who are not familiar with them could make that mistake.

[@theresahoward7216]

I kind of love that you messed up...I mean to say that when we try cuisines from other places without someone actually cooking with us- well we are bound to mess it up from time to time but that is okay.

So surprised and happy to see a non-mainstream Bengali dish here. We actually cook jackfruit seeds in many ways. I like having them with jute leaves.

[@poojachaware150]

The dish made of jackfruit seeds shown here in this video certainly looks very exotic. Made me want to taste it. :-D We cook jackfruit seeds in other states of India as well. In Maharashtra, my native state, we just pressure cook the seeds with a little bit of salt, peel them off on cooling and eat them as a snack. Packed with nutrition and super tasty! :-D My husband is from the state of Kerala and I've recently tried Chakka Prathaman for the first time. It's made with a completely ripe jackfruit and is actually pureed in my family. A warning, however. A ripe jackfruit contains a lot of heat, and so should be eaten in moderation. Enjoy!

Not a fruit expert but I don't think the jackfruit is ripe enough and that's why it was difficult to cut. Ripe jackfruit has a yellow color to it, maybe even orange. Loved the video though!

[@heatherglidden1294]

It's also not that hard to get the "fruit" part out if its ripe

[@stephanieong4377]

That was my first thought too! Cz When Beryl said it was very hard to cut into it, I was like: no it shouldn't be. & then I saw the colour of the inside, & went: ah... It's not ripe.

[@aayudh26]

There is two types of jackfruits.. we can identify them when it ripes... some of them so soft which we call wala in sri lanka... other kind is not that much soft we call waraka in Sri lanka. This jackfruit is perfectly ripe to eat as a dish but not as a fruit.... 😊

[@snehasakharkar844]

Jungkook looks good 😂

[@premsingha6202]

You are right. To be able to cut and peel easily, it has to be riped properly to an extend that when you touch the skin it should dent inside.

[@RexPhalange]

I think the mistake with the Malaysian dish is it's the wrong fruit. In Faiza's clips, she wrote 'cempedak'. Cempedak is closely related to jackfruit (which is called nangka in Malaysia) and they look similar on the outside but the flesh and taste are different. Cempedak, as far as I am concerned, doesn't have an English name, and so Malaysian sometimes call it jackfruit by mistake.

[@MariahCareyisDivine]

Yeah, that's definitely cempedak by the looks of it.

Come to India, especially to our Kerala, we even arranges exhibitions with dishes of Jackfruit. U can see atleast a jackfruit tree in almost every house. We makes curries, fries, jams (with the riped one), shakes (with the seeds), some times we fries the seeds and uses as an evening snack, then we boil the raw jackfruit - mixes with coconut and eat, then we makes thoran (a special keralite dish - somekind of a stir fry type mixing with coconut, cumin, turmeric powder,etc),. Jackfruit is somekind of feeling for us, in my yard too there are more than hundreds of Jackfruit on the trees. Moreover that Jackfruit is the official fruit of Kerala.

Hey Beryl, Malaysian here. I believe in the video that Fazah sent you, it did mention using the skin of a cempedak, which is technically not jackfruit, but within the same botanical family. The fruits are generally smaller, the colour of the flesh generally ranges from light to dark orange, almost beige sometimes. And the skin is generally floppier and softer, hence the difference in appearance as compared to jackfruit skin. I'm not sure if cempedak is available at where you are currently at right now; I've always seen Jackfruit at Chinatown markets when I was living abroad in the past, but never cempedak. Good effort though, love your videos btw. ;)
