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:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees, adjusting the rack to the top third of the oven.
  • Using your fingers, shred drained jackfruit into medium pieces, breaking apart larger stem sections, and place in a large bowl.
  • Add soy sauce, coriander, paprika, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, cumin and the coconut milk. Stir carefully with a rubber spatula to incorporate, then dip in the edge of a small spoon to taste the mixture; season to taste with salt as desired.
  • Transfer jackfruit mixture to a shallow, broiler-safe, 2-quart baking dish. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
  • Increase heat to a high broil and roast until the top chars a bit, 7 to 10 minutes more. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm, ripe jackfruit for the best texture and flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the jackfruit into small pieces.
  • Be careful not to overcook the jackfruit, as it can become tough and chewy.
  • If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you can steam the jackfruit in a colander set over a pot of boiling water.
  • Serve the jackfruit curry with rice, naan, or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

This vegan jackfruit curry is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The jackfruit provides a meaty texture and a slightly sweet flavor, while the curry sauce is rich and flavorful.
