    Yum!! I love this dish, I tasted this first at my MIL's place, she's from palakkad and she makes the best idichakka thoran. I'm so glad to know that you get this in a can in the Indian stores!!! But tell me one thing, I tried canned chakkai, but it was very fibrous and I hated it. Is tender jackfruit any better???
