Take boiled jackfruit in a big vessel. Add curd, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chilli powder, half the biryani masala, a little salt, a little fried onion and half chopped coriander-mint. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Heat oil/ghee in a pan or heavy bottomed pan. Add spices to it. When the spices start crackling, add tomatoes and cook until soft. Now add marinated jackfruit to it and fry it on medium flame for 7-8 minutes, so that the spices leave the oil.

Once the jackfruit is cooked, reduce the flame. Spread a layer of steamed basmati rice over the jackfruit gravy. Now add remaining fried onion, chopped coriander, mint, remaining biryani masala and add saffron milk and 1 spoon desi ghee over it.
