The saving grace of this relentlessly hot season is the variety of refreshing fruits it brings. While watermelons and mangoes always steal the show, the jackfruit is not far behind and has its fair share of fans around the country. The fruit, popularly known as a summer fruit, is available all year round now but what better way than to celebrate it than when it is available in abundance?
