Jackfruit Jalfrezi

‘Jalfrezi’ means ‘hot fry’, so this is the Indian version of a Chinese ‘stir fry’. It is cooked quickly in a hot pan with a little oil.

Jackfruit is a tropical tree and belongs to the same plant family as figs and mulberries. It is enormous! How the branches of the tree do not break is a mystery. It is in fact the largest tree borne fruit in the world.

Jackfruit is a great substitute for meat and reputed benefits include benefitting heart-health, helping to fight inflammation and promoting wound healing in much the same way as the pawpaw.

We have combined jackfruit with herbs, spices sweet potato and spinach to create a  delicious curry. The vegetables are robust, the spices are warming and packed with flavour.

It is a drier curry, so you may like a dollop of natural yogurt or raita and some naan bread served with it.

 

Jackfruit (21%), water, tomatoes, sweet potato, onion, spinach, ginger, sunflower oil, garlic, turmeric, cumin, corriander, garam masala, (coriander, cassia, ginger, cloves) chilli, salt, black pepper.
