 The modus operandi...

 

 Chop the jackfruit seeds into thin pieces lengthwise. Cut open the drumstick. Using a spoon, scrape the inner seeds of the drumstick. Boil the jackfruit and drumstick seeds in some water with a pinch of salt and a tad of turmeric powder, until tender. Unload excess water and set aside for later.

Add in the melange of coconut, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt and shallots in a blender jar and grind for 2 seconds.

 

Heat a deep-bottomed pan and dribble oil. Throw in mustard seeds, curry leaves and raw rice. When the mustard starts crackling, cast in the cooked jackfruit and drumstick seeds. Combine.

 

After a few minutes, prepare a well in the center of the seed mishmash by pushing most of it to the sides of the pan. Add in the coconut potpourri in the middle and cover with the seeds pushed to the side earlier. The coconut mishmash will cook in the steam produced as the seeds dry up. Incorporate after a few minutes. Set out the thoran along with red rice. Eat up the health-giving dish!
