- 500 gm Jackfruit fresh or canned, young green jackfruit preferred; drained if canned
Spices & Aromatics
- 2 Large Onions sliced
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tbsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 4 Cloves
- 2 Cardamom Pods green cardamom
- 1 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Other Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 sprig Coriander chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Jackfruit
- Wash the jackfruit thoroughly and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Wash again to remove any excess sap.
Fry the Jackfruit
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit and fry until golden brown, ensuring even browning on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics and Spices
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the fenugreek seeds and cardamom pods and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Cook the Onions and Spices
- Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook the spices for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Combine and Simmer
- Add the fried jackfruit to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Finish and Serve
- Stir in the lemon juice. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti, naan, or paratha.
