Cumin seeds-1/2 tsp

For seasoning:

Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Red chillies-2
Curry leaves- a few
Coconut Oil-2 tsp

Salt-to taste

Method:

In a pan add the diced jack fruit with turmeric,salt,red chillie powder and 1/2 cup water.Cook for 10 minutes.

Grind to gether the coconut,green chillies and cumin in to a smooth paste with enough water. Add this to the cooked jackfruit and bring to a boil.

In a pan add the seasoning,when mustard seeds splutters add this to the jackfruit curry. Enjoy with Rice.
