- Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a deep, heavy-based pan to 180°C / 350°F, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.
- Working in batches, carefully lower the jackfruit into the hot oil and deep-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper (paper towels).
- Reduce the heat slightly, add the baby onions, and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper (paper towels).
- Put the ground coriander, the remaining turmeric, and the chilli powder in a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons of water and mix together.
- Heat the ghee in a separate deep, heavy-based pan over medium heat, add the red and green chillies and stir-fry for about 1- 2 minutes, or until the chillies change colour.
