Method
Drain and tear the jackfruit into bite-sized chunks.
Julienne the ginger and slice the garlic.
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan and fry the curry powder for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the jackfruit and fry for 4 minutes.
Add enough water to just cover the jackfruit, along with the ginger, garlic, pickled garlic, tamarind paste, palm sugar and both soy sauces, and simmer for 20 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and shreds easily.
Stir in the roasted peanuts and simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
