    Instructions

    1 Add a glug of olive oil to a frying pan (skillet) and the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, pan-frying for a minute to release the aroma. Add the red chillies, onions, garlic cloves and ginger. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent.

    2 Drain and rinse your jackfruit (to remove as much salt as possible).

    3 Get the rice on in a separate pan and cook according to the instructions on the packet. Drain.

    4 Add the ground coriander, ground turmeric, tomato purée and the jackfruit to the onions. Mix together, pour in the passata, cover your pan and cook for 10 minutes.

    5 Uncover and shred the jackfruit a bit and allow the sauce to thicken. Add the coconut cream and a little water if necessary. Mix everything together.

    6 Bubble the curry down until it is nice and thick. Scatter over a handful of chopped coriander. Serve on a bed of steaming rice.
