Know as the vegetarian’s meat, jackfruit or kathal (as its known in India) is a meaty and delicious fruit. This curry is a low-fat version of my mother’s original recipe. The dish goes very well with steamed basmati rice or roti.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 4 green chile peppers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon red chile powder
- 2 (20 ounce) cans jackfruit, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir cumin seeds until they sizzle, about 30 seconds. Stir in green chile peppers, ginger, and garlic; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and sugar; cook and stir until onion is almost browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Stir tomatoes, tomato paste, turmeric, coriander, and red chile powder into the saucepan. Cook until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer onion and tomato mixture to a food processor; process into a smooth paste.
Step 4
Pour paste back into the saucepan. Add jackfruit; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garam masala and salt. Serve garnished with cilantro.
Cook’s Note:
If using raw jackfruit, cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
