Delicious shredded jackfruit in a creamy tomato cashew sauce. Serve this vegan Jackfruit Curry with basmati rice and homemade naan!
Temperatures are going down, down, down and my cravings for hot, creamy, dreamy curries are going up, up, up!
Jackfruit is one of these totally underrated ingredients. Even I tend to forget how amazing it is. And I am talking about the young, green jackfruit that you can buy canned in brine or water. I am NOT talking about jackfruit in syrup, which is amazing in its own way but not in savory dishes.
You can buy young jackfruit in most Asian supermarkets, sometimes even in health food stores or regular supermarkets as it becomes more and more known that it's a great alternative to meat. I mean, just look at it. Doesn't it look like shredded chicken? Could have fooled me!
For this vegan Jackfruit Curry, I cooked the jackfruit with sliced onions, spices, and chili until slightly crispy, and then added diced tomatoes and homemade cashew cream. I just love how easy the sauce is.
The curry is absolutely delicious with basmati rice and fresh Naan. Here's how it goes...

- ½ yellow onion halved and sliced
- ¼ fresh chili chopped
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
