I cooked jackfruit for the first time. So many jackfruit recipes are rolling over the internet recently, which totally intrigued to try it.

However, I wanted to try out a different recipe and a version of masala curry came to my mind. I found green jackfruit in brine in the store and I immediately got extremely excited. Even though the can was sitting on my kitchen counter for a week I was in no rush because  I wanted to come up with some awesome recipe.

How to make Vegan Jackfruit Turmeric Masala Curry

  • Finally, I decided to simply go with the flow. So, I started adding herbs and spices into the hot oil.
  • Thereafter, I sauteed chopped onions and tomatoes in it.
  • Afterwards, I cooked drained jackfruit into the masala along with some water.
  • Lastly, I gave it a finishing touch by adding some lightened coconut milk to it. This added little thickness to the masala curry.
  • Finally, I garnished it with chopped cilantro and served it warm.

VOILA! We totally loved Vegan Jackfruit Turmeric Masala Curry. The aroma of cinnamon totally attracted us.

The flavor of Indian spices and a mild taste of coconut milk created magic in this entrée. Now, I am totally into cooking jackfruit regularly.

Jackfruit – It’s low in calories and promotes glowing skin. It also fights wrinkles and improves digestion. Jackfruit is loaded with Vitamin A, C, E and Folate. This in turn helps to fight anemia and also promotes bone health.

    I made this the other night but shredded the jackfruit at the end of cooking. It was delightful. Even better as leftovers for lunch the rest of the week. Served it on brown rice.

    This sounds amazing! I love curry and could easily eat it once a week! I have only had jackfruit that came in a package with spices added – not cheap and not my favorite. I need to try the brined canned version. I just have to find a grocery store that carries it.
