How to Prepare Raw Jackfruit Curry [Vegan]
- Apply coconut oil over your hands and knife. Remove the skin and cut jackfruit into small pieces. Put those pieces in water to avoid brown coloring. Heat a pressure cooker and add washed jackfruit pieces along with a little salt and turmeric powder. Pour enough water until the pieces are submerged.
- Close the lid and pressure cook on low-medium flame for 1 whistle. Remove from the heat and let the pressure settle down. Drain the water completely and keep the cooked pieces aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, and maratha moggu. Add chopped onions and green chilis. Sauté for a bit. Add tomatoes and mash the pulp. Add ginger-garlic paste and stir well. Add cooked jackfruit and stir.
- Add pepper powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Stir well everything. Add salt to taste and cook it covered for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle lemon juice and remove from the heat. Serve hot.

And what do you mean by "cook for one whistle"? My pressure cooker doesn\’t whistle; it\’s a new electric Instant Pot pressure cooker.
Can this be made with "green" canned jackfruit, rinsed well and drained?
