Creamy Jackfruit Curry with Tomato, Coconut & Lime
This creamy jackfruit curry is a wonderful option for anyone looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into their diet. It’s packed with nutrients and has a rich, satisfying taste. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) young green jackfruit in brine or water, drained and shredded
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by heating the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. Allow the spices to toast for a minute to enhance their flavors.
- Next, add the shredded jackfruit and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This gives the jackfruit a chance to absorb all the wonderful spices.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the coconut milk. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot and let it cook for approximately 20 minutes. The jackfruit will soften and take on the flavors of the curry.
- After 20 minutes, squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good stir.
- Serve the creamy jackfruit curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. This dish goes wonderfully with rice, quinoa, or even on its own!
I hope you enjoy this comforting and hearty dish as much as I do. It’s not only easy to make but also packed with vibrant flavors that will leave you wanting more. Happy cooking!
