Snack - Wild Jackfruit Seeds

This cinematic vlog documents the traditional process of making Jackfruit Seed Laddus (Chakka Kuru snack), capturing a specific transitional period in rural Indian life where ancient techniques meet modern convenience.

The "Farm-to-Table" Journey

The narrative follows a strict chronological arc:

1. The Find: Scavenging a fallen, naturally split jackfruit from the yard in Vengandoor.
2. The Labor: Processing the seeds using:
   • Sand Roasting: An ancient technique using an earthen pot (Aduppu) and river sand for even heat distribution.
   • Stone Tools: Crushing and winnowing the roasted seeds using a traditional stone roller and bamboo fan (Muram).
3. The Transformation: Blending the roasted powder with grated coconut and jaggery (using a modern electric mixer) to form sweet, energy-packed spheres.

Creative Direction

• Genre: "Silent Vlog" / ASMR Cooking.
• Generational Collaboration: Highlighting the transfer of knowledge—my father operating the traditional stone tools while I handle the camera and scavenging.
• Visual Contrast: The vibrant green outdoors vs. the warm, smoky glow of the traditional kitchen.
