Mangoes, bananas and jackfruit are mukkani. I can get nutritional facts for mangoes and bananas. Any suggestion for jackfruit nutritional facts?

  Yes "puraaNa" is Sanskrit too. (As Kripaananda vaariaar said long ago "KaruNa" is also sanskrit and "nidhi" is also sanskrit! The poor man was beaten up for saying so!!!)

  "Yes "puraaNa" is Sanskrit too"
  
  or it could be Tamil :)
  
  "Most of those words listed as Tamil and Singalese are actually Sanskrit words but mis-spelt because Tamil does not have those consonants. (manah, tarka, vis'wasam, panditah). "
  
  One could argue that these words went from Tamil and thirubufied into misspelt words in Sanskrit. If you wonder why would Sanskrit have a misspelt word when it has ALL the consonants, well my friend you just have to look at your mother tongue malayalam - dOsai has become dOsha in malayalam although malayalam does have the sa sound. A similar thing could have happened when sanskrit borrowed words from Tamil.
  
  "jamboo phalam"
  
  pazham went to sanskrit and became phalam? Could be argued both ways :)
  
  I will stop here and not participate anymore in the direction of borrowing of words (ta,to sa or sa to ta) lest this thread to deteriorate like many in the Tamilhistory section :(
  
  See you all in other threads.

  :),
  Punnahai naanum unga katchi. Last night I was thinnking about this borrowed words and I too came to the conclusion of Punnahai's. Anyway lets leave this thread for palaa pazha discussion:)
  
  >> there's a variety of Jackfruit called varukkan(m?) (in Tamil), it is the best variety of jackfruit, very crisp and tasty. May be the sinhalese varaka came from this.
  
  Yes one of the best variety is called "varakA" in Sinhala. The kuzhu kuzhu variety you have mentioned is called "vala" ( first "a" should be pronounced similar to "cat"). Tamils in Sri Lanka call it "koolang".
  
  Ramadas,
  You are yet to respond to my question on "erisseri"

  Ramadas,
  BTW, in Sri Lanka the word Jamboo is used to describe another type of sour fruit. This fruit has many varieties with different colours ( red, white, green and pink). Those fruits are very small in size.

  Erisseri is a Keralite curry. Pumpkins, Yam, raw plantains, raw jackfruit are best suited for making erisseri. It is an important dish as part of any "sadya" or feast in Kerala.

  Ramadas,
  Thanks. The same type of curry is made in Sri Lanka as well. It is a famous dish among Sinhalese. I have seen Mallus and Sinhalese having a lot of similarities including certain personal qualities.
