In order to do that we have to first grease our hands and the knife that is going to be used with 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 bowl of water mixed with some salt, 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 then soak them in the salted water. To start cooking the Raw Jackfruit, place the cut pieces of raw jackfruit in a pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 6 whistles, reduce the heat and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the flame.Allow the pressure to release naturally. Drain the raw jackfruit pieces and set aside.Once the jackfruit has cooled down, let us marinate it. In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled raw jackfruit pieces, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, lemon juice and salt. Meanwhile, in a pan heat oil on medium heat, fry them until they turn into a deep brown colour.
