Jackfruit Vegan Curry is here!
Jackfruit is one of my favorite foods to cook with because it is so versatile. You NEED to try this jackfruit vegan curry. It will make all of your curry dreams come true.
Curry dishes are so yummy and filled with nutrients, fiber, plant-protein and delicious flavors. I thought that adding jackfruit to a curry would bring it to the next level!
You can make jackfruit into a shredded meat-like texture which also acts like chicken in this recipe. If you don’t have access to canned jackfruit then you can just omit it and make the recipe without it.
This recipe turned out SO yummy! I paired it with brown rice but it’s delish just as is.
This recipe is:
- Vegan
- Plant-based
- Oil-free
- Soy-free
- Sugar-free
- Gluten-free
- 100% yummy
Fresh Ingredients
You can add whatever veggies you like into this curry but I LOVE adding peas, onion and cauliflower. The cauliflower helps to make this jackfruit vegan curry extra delicious.

The Jackfruit
Listen to me – you need to use canned young green jackfruit for this recipe. Do not use ripe fresh jackfruit.
Rinse the canned jackfruit and shred it with your hands to get that shredded chicken consistency.
The main liquid in this recipe is veggie broth!
You are going to also be using a little coconut milk for flavor and richness. I get the reduced fat one from Trader Joe’s.
If you do not want to use coconut milk you can use unsweetened almond milk or any other non-dairy milk you like!
Meal Prep
This makes A LOT of curry so make this recipe of jackfruit vegan curry at the beginning of the week and you will have it for multiple meals. This is also a great meal to make if you have a big group of people to feed or a large family.
Bring this to a potluck and I promise you will impress your friends!

Brown rice is a great addition to any meal, it is a very healthy complex carbohydrate that makes this meal well rounded and more filling.
