Making green jackfruit curry - new superfood meat substitute we have been eating for years!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Jackfruit has emerged as one of the new superfoods, but, like with so many other emerging superfoods, we used to eat this when it was in season almost as a staple. With time and changing diets jackfruit did become less popular - why eat a meat substitute when you can eat meat and its easier to prepare - but it is slowly becoming more popular as now as well!
Ingredients:
1/2 the jackfruit (will serve 8-10 people)
To boil:
1 tsp rough salt
1/2 tsp hurdee powder (tumeric)
1/4 cup oil
For braising:
2 med onions, sliced
3 med tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp crushed ginger and garlic
fresh thyme
handful of curry leaves
2 tbs mixed masala
1 tsp hurdee powder (tumeric)
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp jeera (cumin) seeds
1 tsp somph (fennel) seeds
1/2 tsp methi (fenugreek) seeds
1 tsp dhania (coriander) seeds
1/2 tsp elaichi (cardamom) powder
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp rough salt (to taste)
Serve with hot roti or puri

Hi. We used 1/2 the jackfruit we had at the beginning of the video. That is sufficient to feed 6-8 people so the spices we used in this video should be a good start. Adjust for your spiciness preference and salt preference. All the ingredients used are also in the description of the video as well.

You can give the recipe a shot with the canned jackfruit, except you may want to skip the step of steaming. Canned jackfruit is a lot softer and will also cook faster in the curry…
