Sayur Putih Nangka Muda (Indonesian Young Jackfruit In Coconut Sauce)

Jackfruit or known as Nangka has very special taste. Unripe or ripe jackfruit can be consumed in the dishes. The ripe jackfruit has very strong smell and is very sweet. We consume it as dessert or as fruit. The unripe one, we consume it in a dish. Because it's still raw, it has to be cooked quite long to make it tender. I love to eat jackfruit, a raw or ripe one, in a dish or as a dessert. Both ripe or unripe can be found at the asian grocery and packed in a can.
