JACKFRUIT CURRY (KATHAL SUBZI)

Jackfruit Curry (Kathal Subzi) image

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.
