Ingredients

250 gms raw jackfruit
1 medium-size onion, sliced
1 medium-size tomato, chopped
3 to 4 garlic flakes, crushed
1- inch ginger, finely chopped
2 green chilies
Few curry leaves
2 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds/methi
1/2 tsp turmeric/haldi
1 tsp coriander powder/dhania powder
1 tsp nigella seeds
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp pepper powder
1 tsp kokum
1 cup coconut milk
A small piece of organic jaggery
Salt to taste

Instructions

Cut a clean jackfruit into small pieces and put them into water immediately. This will ensure they do not discolor. Discard that water later.
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and fenugreek seeds followed by nigella seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and sauté for a minute. Add some sliced onions, ginger-garlic paste, and sauté until translucent.
Add tomatoes and sauté until well mixed.
Now add chili powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt.
Sauté for two minutes.
Add raw jackfruit pieces and sauté for one to two minutes.
Add kokum water, coconut milk, and jaggery.
Pressure cook it on low flame for three to four whistles.
Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.

Notes

The tropical jackfruit is loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron.
It is rich in fiber. Adding a blend of anti-inflammatory spices gives this curry an additional immunity boost.
Its antibacterial and antiviral properties earn it the moniker of a magic healer. But remember, nutrition doesn’t work alone. You have to work on adequate movement, quality sleep, and your emotional wellness too.
