Ingredients
  

  • 2 20-oz cans young green jackfruit in brine, drained and shredded
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional, for heat queens only
  • 1 14-oz can coconut milk (full-fat for full drama)
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil: Melt coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Swirl it like you mean it.
  • Sauté aromatics: Add chopped onion. Cook 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook another minute until fragrant and fabulous.
  • Add spices: Stir in curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and chili flakes. Toast the spices for 1 minute—don’t skip this or I’ll judge.
  • Toss jackfruit: Add shredded jackfruit. Coat with spices. Cook 5 minutes to soak up flavor and sass.
  • Pour liquids: Add coconut milk and broth. Stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer like a classy lady.
  • Simmer: Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add more broth if curry throws a tantrum and thickens too much.
  • Finish with flair: Stir in lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot: Garnish with cilantro. Pair with rice, naan, or a glass of wine (I won’t tell).

Additional Notes & Tips

  • Swap jackfruit for tofu if you’re out (or just extra).
  • Add peas or spinach to level up your veggie game.
  • Let the curry rest 10 minutes before serving—it gets better after some drama.
  • Store leftovers (if any) in the fridge for up to 3 days—flavor deepens like your favorite Netflix character arc.
