Equipment

  • Instant Pot or Nutricook Smart Pot Eko

Ingredients

  • 200 gms Unripened Jackfruit also known as Echor or Kanthal
  • 2 Potato Medium, Cut in cubes
  • 2 Tomatoes Finely chopped
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • ½ tsp Cumin Powder
  • ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder Kashmiri Mirch Powder
  • Salt & Sugar As per taste
  • 1 inch Ginger Grated
  • 3 tbsp Mustard Oil
  • 1 tbsp Ghee
  • ¼ tsp Garam Masala Powder

Instructions

  • Plugin the Instant Pot or Nutricook Smart Pot (Affiliate Link) and switch it on. Select the SAUTE MODE and you will see the timer showing 30 mins on the screen. Select the START button. The stainless steel pot inside will slowly heat up and get ready for cooking
  • Pour Mustard Oil and once you see it smoking, temper it with Bay Leaf, Green Chili and Cumin Seeds. Allow them to sizzle.
  • Next, add the chopped Tomatoes and grated Ginger. Mix everything well.
  • As the tomatoes turn soft, add sugar, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder and cumin powder. Give everything a good mix.
  • Next, add the potatoes and jackfruit pieces.
  • Add 2 cups of water to make a gravy. Finally add the Garam Masala Powder and Ghee
  • Now, press CANCEL and then click MEAT/STEW mode. Set the timer at 25 mins and press START
  • Place the Instant Pot lid on and switch the pressure release valve to SEALING Mode.
  • Once the cooking is done, the pot will ring a tune. Now you can either use a long handle of a ladle to switch the release valve to VENTING for quick depressurising. Be very careful as there may be spluttering of hot liquid through the pressure release valve
  • Once the pot is ready to open, remove the lid and give everything a stir. Check for doneness by slicing a piece of jackfruit. It should be nicely cooked through
  • Serve hot with rice. If you are not ready to serve it yet, keep the pot plugged in and place the lid back on. It will keep the dish warm.
