Ingredients

2 T olive oil 1 for adding to the patties; 1 for frying
20 oz green jackfruit 1 can drained and rinsed
1/3 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup red onion(s) chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Remove jackfruit from the can and rinse. Place in enough water to cover and keep at a rolling boil until fork tender, which takes about 45 minutes.
Drain the water and transfer to a food processor along with the remaining ingredients and a tablespoon of oil. Give a few pulses till everything comes together.
Take the patty mix out of the food processor and place in a bowl. Mix in a little more chickpea flour if the mix feels too sticky.
Shape into patties (about 1/3 cup each) and chill for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet; fry the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
This patty can be enjoyed alone, or you can place it on a bun with condiments and salad greens (mixed with a bit of olive oil).
