The chili used in this recipe is not the hot variety that is used to spice up the food. This is mild variety. It is consumed as a vegetable. It is slightly hot and its heat would be like that of a bell pepper or even milder. This chili is the eastern version of banana chili or Hungarian Hot Wax (Capsicum annuum). It is about 4 to 5 inches long. In the east it is generally stuffed with fish paste and added to soups or served as a condiment to other dishes. In some parts of the east it is called curry chili.
When you eat jackfruit do not throw away the seeds. You can cook and eat them,
Today I am going to make a stir fry with it.
