Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh okra (bhindi)
• 400 grams Canned young jackfruit
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the okra under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and chop off the tops and tails. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned young jackfruit. Squeeze out excess water and shred the pieces to resemble shredded meat.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the okra and sauté for about 8-10 minutes until it's slightly crispy and cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Step 6

Add the garlic and ginger to the onions and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and spices are aromatic.

Step 8

Add the shredded jackfruit to the tomato mixture and mix well. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the spices.

Step 9

Mix in the cooked okra and garam masala. Toss everything until the okra and jackfruit are coated with the spices and flavors are well combined. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Serve hot with rice or roti.
