I have always seen this jackfruit in can but never thought it will actually taste as good as the fresh ones you get back home. This thoran does look like as if its made from the fresh jackfruit. Now i dont have a reason not to try this out. Thanks girls

Manju,
Thanks for stopping by Nothing can replace the taste of fresh tender jackfruit. But this tastes almost as good as the fresh ones. Do let us know how it came out…
This was the 1st recipe from your blog that I tried, 2nd being the chicken roast..:-) this came out great as well..:-) and thanks a ton ! The dish I made had a little sour taste, I gussed it is from the can and the syrup- Did yours have it too?
Julie,
Thanks a lot for trying out our recipes and for your feedback. This dish have never tasted sour when I made it. Probably its from the syrup like you guessed. I usually discard the syrup and wash the jackfruit pieces before using it. Try that way next time. Hope this helps.
Hmm.. I guess didn’t wash it well enough, will rinse it thoroughly next time..
If it still tastes sour, problem might be with the can..Good luck
