In order to do that we have to first, coat our hands and the knife that we are going to use, with some cooking oil.This important tip ensures that the hands don't get sticky from the natural fruit latex/sap present in the fruit does not get onto your hands and makes the cutting process hassle-free. Keep a mixing bowl of moisture mixed with some seasoning, ready to put the cut raw jackfruit pieces to avoid discolouration of the fruit.Now that your hands and knife are well greased, cut the the jackfruit in half, discard the skin and start making 1 inch pieces and soak them in the salted moisture.Place the jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of moisture and pressure bring to temperature for 2 whistles and turn off the bring to temperature.Allow the pressure to release naturally.
