Young unripe jackfruit chunks are cooked with Potatoes and fragrant spices. This Aloo -Kathal / Potato-Jackfruit Curry is a delicacy for vegetarians/Vegans.Goes well with rice or roti.

I always get nostalgic while making or eating this curry. In our childhoods, my mom made this Aloo Kathal Curry/ Potato Jackfruit Curry that we siblings loved. It was finger-licking good.
The texture of jackfruit is similar to meat, and for that reason, it is often considered the non-veg of vegetarians in my part of the world. The curry is also rich and spicy, like most of the non-veg North Indian curries.
Have you heard of the Indian festival of colors, Holi? Jackfruit curry is as important as turkey is in Thanksgiving for this festival in my native state. It is a dish that qualifies as a home-cooked meal for special occasions.
What Type of Jackfruit is Needed for This Aloo Kathal/Potato Jackfruit Curry?
Raw jackfruit, whether fresh, canned, or frozen, doesn't matter, but it should be raw. People in India buy fresh raw jackfruit in season, the best jackfruit for any curry.
Cutting and peeling jackfruit is an art that is learned just by practice. Since it releases some sticky juice while cutting, applying oil on the hands is necessary.
Canned Jackfruit or Frozen Jackfruit?
For the last 15 years, I have been using canned raw jackfruit, and I love it. I tried frozen ones several times and didn't like the texture much.
Many people complain that it doesn't taste like the fresh ones. If you fry jackfruit cubes properly, you will get a fantastic taste.
Can We Make it With Less Oil?
You can make several types of jackfruit curry with less oil, but not this one.
You must use some oil to make this curry super rich and delicious. We eat this curry occasionally, and it's worth it.
I also make Aloo- Kathal ki Biryani, which is just as delicious as any non-veg biryani. You can check it out!
What to Serve with Aloo-Kathal ki Sabji-
The best options are white rice, Pulao, and Poori, but you can serve anything.
North Indian platters are usually big and hearty. You can serve these dishes with your Jackfruit Curry-
Dal Palak/Lentil Soup with spinach
Bengali Cholar/Chana Dal/Split Chickpea Lentil

Ingredients Needed to Make Potato Jackfruit Curry
Potato- I prefer baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for making this curry. Red potatoes are also great to have in this curry.
Jackfruit- Canned, fresh, or frozen jackfruit. You have to be careful with the fresh ones because if it's not entirely raw, your curry taste will be spoiled.
Onion- You can take any onion, but I think red onion is for making Indian curries.
Ginger-Garlic Paste- Make your ginger-garlic paste fresh in the mortar pestle if you have time. You can use the mixer-grinder as well.
Coriander -Cumin Powder, Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala Powder,
A few whole spices like Black Cardamom, Bay leaf, and Cumin Seeds.
A few Staples like Turmeric Powder, Salt, and Oil. I used Mustard oil however you can use the oil of your choice.
