Instructions

1. Drain the jackfruit and beans and rest them in the strainer over the sink or a bowl.
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
3. Heat the oil a saucepan and gently sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the spices and chilli flakes, stir for a few seconds and add the tomato purée. Stir again for a few seconds, then turn off the heat.
4. Transfer the beans and jackfruit into a mixing bowl. Using a potato masher and fork, mash them until you get a textured mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then add the cooled tomato & onion paste.
5. If you have time, rest for about 30 minutes. If the mixture is too soft, add more chickpea flour.
6. Make 8 balls from the mixture, then flatten them slightly between your palms. Put them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spray them with some oil and bake/grill in a preheated oven for ten minutes on both sides or until golden.
7. Alternatively, heat some oil in a frying pan and fry them for approx. 3- 5 minutes on both sides until golden. Serve them in a bun or flatbread with condiments of your choice.
