Easy Recipe for Loitta Dry Fish Curry with Jackfruit Seeds

Jackfruit seeds are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. They can be used in a variety of dishes — and yes, you can even cook them with loitta (bombay duck) dry fish! Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients & Preparation:

• Cut 150 grams of loitta dry fish into small pieces.
• On low heat, dry roast the fish in a pan until the smell comes out. Then remove from heat and soak in water.
• After 10–15 minutes, rinse the fish thoroughly.

Cooking Steps:

1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté 1 cup of chopped onions.
2. Once the onions soften, add:
   • ½ teaspoon garlic paste
   • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
   • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
   • Chili powder and salt to taste
     Stir well.
3. Add a little water and cook the spices until the oil separates.
4. Add the dry fish pieces and jackfruit seeds. Stir everything together.
5. Pour in a small amount of water (don’t add too much, or the ingredients may become mushy).
6. When the water is mostly absorbed, add 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic and cover the pan.
7. Cook while stirring occasionally until well roasted.
8. Finally, add some green chilies before removing from heat.

Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious dish!
