Jackfruit is the new darling of the vegan set for its meaty texture, but has long been used in Indonesia. It doubles up as a fruit when ripe and sweet and a vegetable when green. This mild, turmeric-tinted curry uses the unripe flesh of a young jackfruit - buy it tinned in Asian supermarkets if you can’t find fresh. It will improve immeasurably if you leave it for a day or two after cooking to let the flavours permeate.
