JACKFRUIT PULAO

For Pulao: l 3 tbsp oil l 1 tsp cumin seeds l 1 big cardamom, crushed l 2 small cardamom, crushed l 2 cloves, crushed l 2 -3 large onions, finely sliced l 1 tsp each grated ginger, crushed garlic and chopped green chillies l 1/2 cup each fresh coriander and mint, chopped l 1/2 tsp turmeric l 1 tsp red chilli powder l 2 tsp garam masala powder l 7-8 saffron strands in 2 tbsp warm milk l 2 tbsp ghee (optional) l 2 cups basmati rice soaked in water for 30 mins l 100 ml coconut milk l Salt to taste.

METHOD: l Steam the jackfruit pieces for 15 minutes or pressure cook to 1 whistle. l Mix the yogurt with spices and introduce the jackfruit. Keep to marinate in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight. l Heat a pan with heavy bottom and add 2-3 tbsp oil. l Add the whole spices with cumin seeds. l Add onion with ginger, garlic and chillies with little salt; cook on medium flame until golden brown. l Add the marinated jackfruit pieces. Cook for 10 minutes. l Add the chopped coriander and mint with remaining spice powders and salt. l Add half of coconut milk and let it all cook. l Meanwhile, heat a pot with good 5-6 cups of water and salt. l When it comes to a boil, add rice and let it cook for 7-8 minutes (or until it is about 70% cooked). l Once the jackfruit is partially cooked (70%), start taking out the rice and stack it in a pulao pan. l Spread the ghee and saffron milk using a spoon on top of the rice. l Add remaining coconut milk on top of rice, this will help jackfruit to be moist. l Cover with a heavy lid. This will help the biryani to cook with steam. l Let it cook on the lowest flame for 10 minutes. l Turn off the heat, and let the pan remain covered for 15 minutes. l Remove the lid and slowly mix the rice and jackfruit pieces. Serve warm with a raita and a garden salad. ***
