    Its been sometime since I have cooked anything with jackfruit. We usually masak gulai but your version is also very Asian. Love the spices and the add on of eggs too.

    Hi Ridwan, sad to say we don't have canned jackfruit in our supermarkets...but perhaps in our local Asian market. Looks and tastes I'm sure; absolutely delicious!

    BTW-I did make your yummy spices walnuts, which is actually: candied spiced walnuts, that we also have, but your unique spices inspired me...even more. I did make it, and I'm about to post it on my next post, linking back to you!
