Method
 

  1. Boil Potatoes ,but they should feel a little firm and hold their shape.
  2. Wash Canned jackfruit under running tap water and drain properly .Wipe all the extra water from the jackfruit .If you are using fresh Jackfruit ,boil it for 1 minute on high pressure in the Instant pot.
  3. Take a Wok/Pan. Add 4 tbsp oil to it. Heat the oil.
  4. Add jackfruit to it. Fry on medium flame till they look light brown and fried. It will take around 2 minutes. Remove it and keep it the salted hot water till the curry is done(do not use this step if using fresh Jackfruit)
  5. Cut potatoes into big cubes. I prefer four pieces of medium potato and 2 small ones. Fry till they look golden brown. It will take around 2 minutes. Do it on medium flame.Remove it to a plate after the potato is fried .
  6. Take a pan. You can use the same pan/wok.
  7. Add 2 tbsp oil to it. Heat it .
  8. Add bay leaves ,Cumin seeds, and dry red chilli to it. Let them crackle.
  9. Add sliced /chopped onions to it .Saute it till they look light brown/translucent. This will take 2-3 minutes.
  10. At this time add ginger garlic paste .Saute it nicely till raw smell is gone.It will take another one two minutes.
  11. Now add coriander powder ,cumin powder ,red chilli powder ,turmeric powder and salt . Mix everything well and saute on medium flame .Add 2 tbsp of water to it.It will prevent your spices from sticking.
  12. Saute all spice mix on medium flame for 5-6 minute. spend some time on sauting ,believe me end product will be amazing.Add one tbsp of water if you feel its sticking.
  13. After the spice mix releases the oil ,add Jackfruit and potato to it .Mix it nicely with the spice mix.
  14. Saute it on medium flame for 2 minutes.
  15. Add two cups of water to it. Mix it properly and add garam masala to it.
  16. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes on slow flame with lid on . Remove the lid ,taste the seasoning .If you want to add some salt or it is thick for liking add salt ,or water now.
  17. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with rice or bread.
  18. Enjoy.
