Jackfruit Vegetable Recipe
Kathal Ki Sabzi is an Indian-style spicy stir fry of unripe jackfruit. This Punjabi-style kathal sabzi is a gluten-free, vegan, and one-pot recipe. Serve it with dal fry, raita, and piping hot chapati for a wholesome lunch.
From my first introduction to date, I have always enjoyed eating kathal ki sabzi. It is the meaty, fibrous texture, and the delicious taste that always attracted me to this humble fruit. Today, jackfruit is widely popular as vegan or mock meat.
In India and South East Asia, jackfruit is used for ages to prepare a variety of dishes. From sabzi, pickle to biryani, jackfruit is used in many regional Indian recipes.

The color of the unripe jackfruit should be milky white and not pale yellow. The ripe and sweet jackfruit with hard seeds should not be used for making sabzi.
The best season to get unripe tender jackfruit is from May – July or before the monsoon/rainy season. In some parts of India, unripe jackfruit is available during the winter season as well.
Firstly, don’t get intimidated by the complex structure of the fruit. Once you get the technique to clean the jackfruit right, nothing can stop you from making delicious jackfruit recipes every day.
Jackfruit Curry Recipe (vegan)
Nowadays, many supermarkets sell cleaned, ready to use pieces of jackfruit sealed in a plastic bag. When I am in no mood to put an extra effort, I buy one of those packets from the supermarket or request my vegetable vendor to clean a small portion of jackfruit for me.
Or you can use the frozen jackfruit as well to make this sabzi. Thaw it as per packet instructions and then follow the recipe steps.
The unripe jackfruit pieces should be stored in the fridge (not freezer) in a ziplock bag and consumed in a day or two. Because after a day or two it starts ripening and not in the best stage to make sabzi or curry.

You can also wrap up the pieces and keep them in the freezer for up to one month. But the flavor is best enjoyed when eaten as fresh as possible.
Fry Jackfruit: Start with frying the cleaned, chopped jackfruit in mustard oil till it turns pale brown in color. Transfer to a metal colander. Set aside. Frying gives jackfruit a delicious texture and reduces cooking time.
Next, add the ginger and garlic paste, chopped tomato, spices, and salt. Fry the masala till oil separates. This usually takes 5 – 10 minutes over low heat.

Add the shallow-fried jackfruit in the kadhai, stir to combine so that jackfruit pieces are evenly coated with the spice mix. Cover with a lid and let the sabzi cook over low heat for 15 – 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in between.
During this time the jackfruit pieces absorb the flavor of the spices. Check for doneness and turn off the heat. Serve Kathal Ki Sabzi hot, garnished with coriander leaves.
In a Punjabi household, Kathal Ki Sabzi is mainly served with chapati or phulka. Since it is a dry dish, we accompany it with these Indian dishes:

Young Jackfruit Curry
Young jackfruit, however, is neutral in flavor. This is the variety that you find in cans in grocery stores. The texture is chewy and 'meaty', resembling that of pulled pork or chicken.
Start by making the spice blend. Use a mortar and pestle to lightly crush the peppercorns, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and chili flakes until thoroughly combined and smelling incredible.
If you don't have one, you can alternatively whir the spices together in your blender or a coffee grinder. But it's a handy little tool to have!

The problem isn’t that I don’t like jackfruit. I just couldn’t see how it would work in a savoury dish like a curry.
I’ve eaten jackfruit before when travelling and have always found it a real treat. It is incredibly sweet and juicy, and is often described as having the taste of bananas and apples rolled into one.
When fully mature, jackfruit can be massive! The canned jackfruit that I used for this recipe, though, was much younger and so wasn’t as sweet as the fruit could be.

Like most curries, this dish is mostly made in one pan, except for the rice of course! Put a large pan over low heat and add the coconut oil and chopped onions. Let them sauté for 10 minutes to build
