  3. 3

    In a pan, add the vegan butter and heat it till it bubbles slightly. Then add the onions and sauté for two minutes. During this time, you can add some salt, the turmeric and chili powder.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and continue sautéing for 2 minutes on medium low.

  7. 7

    Add a little more salt if you’d like then pour half a can of the tomato sauce. Mix well and then saute for 2 minutes on medium low. Cover and cook another 2-3 minutes so the sauce blends well with the spices.

  8. 8

    Open the lid and add the jackfruit and the mushrooms. Add the remaining tomato sauce, stir well and cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on low so the mushroom cooks down, and the spices are incorporated in the jackfruit and the mushrooms.
