Instructions
- Pressure cook the fresh young green jackfruit in water (covering at least ½ inch above the jackfruit) and salt for 2 whistles. If you use canned ones - rinse, drain, and dry the jackfruit in a bowl.3 cups Young green jackfruit
- Separate the chunks of cooked jackfruit into shredded pieces if possible using a fork or your fingers.
- Heat oil in a large pan or skillet on medium flame. Add onions, garlic cloves, and cashews and sauté till onion becomes translucent and garlic becomes fragrant.2 tablespoon Coconut oil or any preferred cooking oil, 1 Onion, finely chopped, 4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped, 2 to 3 tablespoon Cashews
- Pour ¾ cup of BBQ sauce, very little water to thin down the sauce, red chile powder, salt to taste, and stir. Cover and cook on medium-low flame for 15 minutes or till the desired texture is reached. The longer you cook, the more tender it will be.¾ cup BBQ sauce, ½ teaspoon Red chile powder, Salt, to taste
- Once the jackfruit is simmered, I took around 12 minutes (as I have already pressure cooked it once), then cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. This will give a nice texture and color.
- You can use this as it is or to make burgers, sliders, and sandwiches. Details here.
