Instructions
Prepare the Jackfruit:
Peel the raw jackfruit and remove the seeds. Cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Boil the Jackfruit:
Boil the jackfruit pieces in a large pot of water with a pinch of salt until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Curry Base:
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add Spices:
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add Tomatoes:
Add pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the masala.
Add Yogurt:
Whisk the yogurt and add it to the masala. Stir continuously to avoid curdling.
Add Jackfruit:
Add the boiled jackfruit pieces to the masala. Mix well, ensuring the jackfruit is coated with the masala.
Simmer:
Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the flavors.
