Chaal Chingri Echore (Raw Jackfruit cooked with Prawns & Rice - Bong style)

#sc4 - This is a traditional Bengali homemade delicacy where Raw Jackfruit is cooked along with some fragrant Gobindobhog Rice. In case of unavailability, you can substitute it with Basmati rice. This recipe is almost similar to Muri Ghonto (fish head curry cooked with rice). However, I added some prawns instead. The vegetarian version of this lost recipe, minus the prawns or fish head can also be called Echore Er Pulao or just Chaal Echore Er Torkari.
