• Oil prevents hands from getting sticky and itchy.
• Peel the Jackfruit and slice into rounds of desired thickness.
• Slice rounds into halves, and remove any thick stem in the centre, before cutting slices into smaller pieces. Do not wash. Scrape any dirt off.
• Heat the oil and fry the pieces over high heat, till light brown. Drain and set aside.
• Add cumin seeds to the same oil.
• When the seeds begin to splutter, add the onions, garlic and ginger.
• Stir-fry till brown, add the tomatoes, and fry till fat separates.
• Add coriander powder, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, and the Garam Masala. Stir to mix well.
• Add the green chillies and jackfruit, stir a few times before adding about 1/2 cup of water.
• Bring to a boil and simmer till the vegetable is cooked through. 
• Garnished with coriander leaves and serve it.
