Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Ghee see NOTES for dairy free option
  • 1 extra large yellow onion pureed
  • 5 to 6 cloves garlic pureed
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger root peeled and pureed
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • pinch black pepper
  • 2 14 ounce cans young jackfruit, drained
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/3 cup organic frozen peas
  • fresh cilantro for garnish
  • steamed rice or cauliflower rice for serving
Instructions
PREP:
  1. Use a food processor or high powered blender to puree the onion, garlic cloves and peeled ginger.
  2. Combine all spices from cumin through black pepper in a small ramekin.
  3. Open canned jackfruit and drain.
  4. Measure tomato sauce, coconut cream and frozen peas.
COOK:
  1. Heat a soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add Ghee.
  2. Once Ghee is hot and completely liquefied, add pureed onion, garlic and ginger mixture.
  3. Saute 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently and add spice mixture. Saute 45 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant.
  4. Add drained jackfruit and stir to coat.
  5. Add tomato sauce, stir to mix well. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Remove lid, raise heat to medium. Add coconut cream and frozen peas. Continue cooking, 2 to 3 minutes, until peas are warmed through and sauce has thickened.

  7. Serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice topped with fresh cilantro and Enjoy!

NOTES:

VEGAN/DAIRY FREE OPTION: Omit the Ghee and use coconut oil (refined coconut oil for a mild, neutral flavor OR unrefined coconut oil if you don't mind a coconut flavor) or avocado oil. If you have this Nutiva Buttery Flavor Coconut Oil, use that as it will give you the closest taste to Ghee.
