JACKFRUIT CURRY



Jackfruit Curry image

Reminiscent of chicken tikka masala, this recipe is inspired by the in-ground or lovo cooking of Fiji. There, meats are heavily seasoned, then set atop tubers, jackfruit or breadfruit, wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked. This simple vegan dish is rich and satisfying, drawing on the Indo-Fijian flavors of the island, with aromatic spices and a bit of a kick. Heavy with coriander, garlic and ginger, this spice blend has a slightly milder, more delicate flavor than most. But if you have a favorite blend, you can substitute the spices in this recipe with 2 tablespoons of no-salt curry powder, and continue with the recipe as written. Serve alongside white rice and sautéed veggies, naan or your favorite curries.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (20-ounce) can green jackfruit in brine, drained
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Using your fingers, shred drained jackfruit into medium pieces, breaking apart larger stem sections, and place in a large bowl.
