Gulai Nangka (Jackfruit Curry) is usually cooked using unripe or young jackfruit. The entire unripe fruit including the flesh, seeds, and membrane is cut into small chunks and cooked. The outer thorny skin and core are removed. It is then cooked in a curry sauce until tender.

Today’s Jackfruit Shrimp Curry (Gulai Nangka Udang) is quite different from the Indian, Indonesian, and Thai versions out there. I used a portion of the ripe jackfruit I purchased at the Asian market recently in this light and flavorful curry.

I used the same spice paste from my Chicken Curry with Kaffir Lime Leaves for the sauce which has a distinctive Nyonya flavor. I have to say I am very pleased with how the dish turned out. It was a little sweet, a little spicy, quite fragrant, and very delicious!

Did you know that jackfruit seeds are edible? They are actually quite tasty, similar in texture to that of boiled chestnuts. The preparation is very simple. Simply boil them in salt water for about 30 minutes or until soft. Peel off the outer waxy skin and eat as is or add them to curries.

This Jackfruit Shrimp Curry (Gulai Nangka Udang) cooks really quickly. Do not overcook the jackfruit. It should still be quite firm after cooking.

    This looks insanely good! Love the idea of using sweet fruit in what’s traditionally thought of as savoury curry.
