- Young jackfruit, pork if they add it, and a thin herbal gravy. It should not taste like dessert jackfruit.
How to order it
- Thai name: kaeng khanun (แกงขนุน).
- Say: Khor kaeng khanun, khrap/kha.
- Pair with tam khanun only if the table is already on jackfruit. One jackfruit plate is enough for most.

Where to try it
- Huen Phen, 112 Ratchamanka Rd, Phra Sing. Lunch and dinner sessions. 80 to 150 THB. Seasonal. If jackfruit is out, they will steer you to hang lay.
Spice level and diet
- Heat: Mild to medium.
- Diet: Often pork. Ask for veg.
