Steps

45 minutes

1

To begin, cut the jackfruit into bite-sized pieces. Boil it in water with a teaspoon of salt and ½ tsp turmeric powder until tender. Or pressure cook it for one whistle. Drain well and keep aside.
2

Heat mustard oil to the smoking point and let it cool a bit. Add in the diced potatoes. Saute and cook until they are almost done. Remove and keep aside.
3

In the same oil, add a bay leaf with the panch phoran (mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and nigella seeds) and let it crackle.
4

Add in the chopped onions with green chillies and saute until translucent.
5

Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute.
6

Next, add the chopped tomatoes with salt. Saute until the tomatoes are softened.
7

Now add in dry masalas – Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and saute until you can see the oil appearing on the sides. Add a bit of water if required.
8

Add in the boiled jackfruit pieces and the potatoes. Mix until well-coated.
9

Add a bit of water. Cover with a lid and cook for a few minutes so that the jackfruit and potatoes soak in the masala.
10

Finish with garam masala powder and 2 tbsp chopped green coriander leaves. Adjust the gravy as per your taste. I prefer the semi-dry version. Check the salt and add more if required.
