There are a few recipes which gets etched in your mind because of the stories associated with them.For me,this curry always reminds me of my mil's sister Vasanthpachi.It seems,she made such a fuss once when this curry was made without Jackfruit seeds in it.I always smile and think of her when I prep the jackfruit seeds/Bikkand while making this Koddel.
Koddel is a curry made with vegetables or pulses using a ground masala of coconut,red chilly and tamarind and finished with a garlic tadka.I always have a love-hate relationship with garlic.Having grown up without eating it,I wasn't quite fond of it except for maybe using ginger garlic paste without any problem.But now slowly,I'm open to the idea of using it in my regular cooking and also eating it without any issues.
Here I have made the Koddel with Magge/Mangalore Cucumber,Drumstick and Jackfruit seeds.You can use any combination of vegetables as per choice.I do have some Koddel recipes posted here a while back.

Drumsticks - 2,sliced into roughly 2' sticks
Jackfruit seeds - about 5-6,peeled and crushed
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup

Garlic(with skin) - 10-12,crushed
Salt to taste
Method
In a pressure cooker,add magge/mangalore cucumber,drumsticks,jackfruit seeds and salt to taste.Add about a cup of water and cook for 2 whistles.(if you are cooking in a pan,cook till the vegetables are soft and tender)
Grind coconut,red chillies and tamarind to a smooth paste.
Add the ground masala to the cooked vegetables and bring to a boil.Simmer for about 5-7 minutes while you get the tadka ready.
For the tadka,add oil into a tadka pan and add the crushed garlic.

Add this to the Koddel and switch off the flame.
