Here’s a fab one for #MeatFreeMonday guys!! The patty is packed with flavour, ginger garlic, onions, chillis, mustard leaves and homegrown curry leaves, added to turmeric, chilli powder, cumin, garam masala and coriander. I used @naturescharm tinned jackfruit, which I sprinkled with turmeric, chilli powder and salt, sautéed, then shredded and added to the pan with some fresh tomatoes and yoghurt a squeeze of lime and some tamarind to balance out the flavours as well as plenty of fresh coriander.

The patty was sandwiched in a brioche bun with lettuce, juicy tomatoes and coriander mint chutney… insanely good… A MUST TRY… even the kids were devoured. Thave devoured would have thought I could get them to eat jackfruit?!!

Now, who’s giving this one a go??
