Andhra Jackfruit curry recipe

  • The shredded raw jackfruit is used for this making this Andhra style curry recipe. Start with making the mustard paste which is known as Aava paste. Take a small container and soak the mustard seeds, sesame seeds and dry red chilli in hot water for 15 minutes so that they become softer and could be ground easily into a paste. 

  • Prep yourself for cutting the jackfruit by greasing your hands and the knife with oil otherwise the latex of the fruit will stick to your hands making it a bit of a hassle while cutting the fruit. 

  • Start making 1-inch pieces of the jackfruit and soak them in the saltwater (to avoid discolouration) as soon as you carve them out from the jackfruit.

  • Take a pressure cooker, place the jackfruit pieces in them with a little bit of water, tamarind paste, turmeric powder, and cook them at low flame till you get 3 whistles. Drain the water from the cooker and once cooled, cut the jackfruit into smaller pieces so that they appear shredded. 

  • In a pan, heat oil, temper the mustard seeds, along with asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies, chana dal and urad dal until they turn slight brown.

  • Into this, add the finely chopped precooked raw jackfruit, chopped onions, mustard paste and mix it. Let the mix cook with the lid on for a few minutes. Add cashew nuts according to your preference and serve it hot along with rice and sambar.
