Jackfruit kebabs, the vegetarian answer to seekh with real bite. Marinated deep and grilled hard; kebabs are patience rewarded. Serve with green chutney, onion rings and lemon.

- Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
- Garam Masala1 tsp
- Saltto taste
- Onion2, finely sliced
- Green Chili2
- Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
- Lemon1
- Gram Flour1 cup
- Jackfruit500 g, raw and cubed
Optional extras
- Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
- Chaat Masala1 tsp
Instructions
- 1
Work the marinade into the jackfruit with the gram flour — massage it like you mean it — and chill for hours, not minutes.
- 2
If skewering, soak wooden skewers 30 minutes; thread the pieces snugly but not tight.
- 3
Bring the meat to room temperature while the grill heats; cold centres cook unevenly.
- 4
Grill till the edges catch and blacken slightly — that char is the flavour.

Rest, then finish with lemon, chaat masala and the onion; serve with onion rings and mint chutney.
Chef's tip
Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
