Raw Jackfruit Curry (Katahar ko Tarkari) Recipe!!

I love Jackfruit (katahar) both ripen and raw ones. However, if I had to choose one then I would choose curry made out of raw jack fruit. Even though, it does looks ugly at the outside and is the most messy fruit to cut, it is delicious and my favorite. It had been ages since I hadn't had one and when I saw it in Chinese market the other day, I had to buy it to make a delicious Nepali curry out of it and share recipe with you all :) Here you go everyone, enjoy the most delicious Nepali Jackfruit Curry or Katar ko Tarkari :x
