Instructions

pressure cooking jackfruit

  1. Apply oil on your palms, knife and chopping board. Rinse the peeled jackfruit. Then chop the jackfruit and remove the seeds. Generally I get the peel removed from the vegetable vendor. In case the peel is not removed, then you will have to slice off the peels. If using chopped jackfruit already brought from outside, then rinse them in water.
  2. Add the jackfruit pieces in a pressure cooker. While chopping jackfruit, you can remove the seeds if you want or add them in the dish.
  3. Then add 1 to 2 pinches of turmeric powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add enough water which just about cover the jackfruit pieces.
  5. Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles or for 8 to 9 minutes on medium flame.
  6. Once the pressure settles down, then remove the lid. Drain all the water and keep the cooked jackfruit aside.

preparing onion paste

  1. Meanwhile when the jackfruit is being pressure cooked, you can prep for the gravy. Add ¾ cup chopped onions in a grinder jar.
  2. Grind to a smooth paste without adding any water. Remove and keep aside in a bowl.

preparing tomato paste

  1. In the same jar, then add ¾ cup chopped tomatoes. Also add 2 teaspoons roughly chopped ginger, 2 teaspoons roughly chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon mint leaves and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves.
