Preparation method

• First step: First, apply oil to your hands and chop the raw jackfruit. If you don't apply oil, the jackfruit's gum will not come off easily from your hands. Then wash it with clean water and boil it.

• Second step: Now cut the beef into small pieces and wash it with clean water and wash the onion and chop it finely.

• Third step: Now wash the mushari dal and boil it. Then I will clean and select the jackfruit pulp to be boiled and wash it again.

• Step Four: I will put a pot on the stove and heat it with a sufficient amount of oil. Then I will add the onion, stir it lightly and add cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves in it. After stirring for a while, I will add half the batter and garlic paste and stir it for a while more.

• Step Five: I will add turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, garam masala and a little water and cook it for a while.

• Step Six: Now I will add the beef and cook it until it is slightly cooked.

• Step Eight: When the meat is cooked, I will add the jackfruit pulp to it and fry it for a while.

• Step Nine: When the jackfruit pulp is cooked, I will add the boiled lentils to it and cook it on low heat. There is no need to add water here, there is little and it will be done by stirring it repeatedly.

• Final step: When I am done with the recipe, I will take it off the stove and serve it and I will take a selfie with my recipe.
