Instructions
Wash the dal and soak till you chop the veggies.
Clean and cut the onions, jackfruit and raw papaya into small pieces.
Set the IP in sauté mode.
Once it is hot, add the oil, panch phoron, dried red chilies broken into small piece and the bay leaf.
Saute for a minute and then add the chopped onion and cook for two minutes.
Then add the ginger garlic paste and cook for two more minutes.
Then add the chopped papaya, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder and give it a mix.
Now add the washed dal, jackfruit pieces, salt, and water. Mix them all and set the IP in manual mode and cook for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally and then add carefully open the lid.
Set the IP back in saute mode and mash all the ingredients.
Add the garam masala and chopped cilantro. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. ( I would highly recommend checking the salt and spice at this stage and if required adjust them and let it simmer.)
That’s it. The jackfruit dal is ready. Serve hot with roti.
Notes
Depending on the sweetness of jackfruit adjust the spice and salt.
Also, you can use split black gram instead of the whole black gram.
I did not use ghee for tempering for you can, of course, use ghee for enhanced flavors.
Make sure you are using tender jackfruit or if your jackfruit is fibrous, boil them separately and puree the same.
