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.

  • Add vegetables to your curry. Vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes are all good additions to coconut jackfruit curry. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, at the end of cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to coconut jackfruit curry. Some good options include cilantro, basil, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass.
  • Serve coconut jackfruit curry with rice or naan bread. Rice or naan bread are both good options for serving coconut jackfruit curry. You can also serve it with roti or other flatbreads.
