Serves 6.

Nasi Campur is an Indonesian dish (Campur meaning mixture). This dish
is generally served on individual plates with mounds of steaming red
rice surrounded by slices of fried tempeh, steamed vegetables, fresh
bean shoots, cucumber and a pickle.

Cut the jackfruit into large chunks and place into a saucepan of
lightly salted water and boil until temder. Seprate the flesh from the
rind and set aside the seed for later use. Fry the finely chopped
onion with a clove of chopped garlic. When the onion is soft and
transparent, add a garam masala mix of chopped fresh chillies and
coriander. Stir well and fry for one minute before adding the tender
boiled jackfruit. Add enough coconut milk to make a sauce that will
gradually thicken as it cooks. Take care not to let the curry become
too dry.

Add more coconut milk or vegetable stock according to taste. Add also
a dash of soy sauce and lime juice.

Allow the curry to simmer for five minutes then remove from heat. The
jackfruit will soak up the flavour of the curry while you prepare the
other ingredients. Make sure to return the curry to the heat briefly
before serving.

Jackfruit curry can be made by adding a variety of vegatables and
served on a bed of rice or noodles (red rice is a Balinese species of
rice).
