Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1 onion
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute.
2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala to the skillet and stir well to combine.
1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ½ teaspoon of garam masala
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
1 can of jackfruit in brine
Add the tomato paste and coconut milk to the skillet and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened. I prefer to dry the curry sauce and make the jackfruit filling really semi-saucy.
1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 can of coconut milk
While the jackfruit curry sauce is thickening, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
Greek yogurt, Lemon juice, Fresh herbs, Salt and pepper to taste
To assemble the gyro, warm the pita bread in a microwave or oven. Fill the pita with the jackfruit curry, fresh greens, sliced onion, and a dollop of yogurt sauce.
