Peel and dice the onion and the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the frozen jackfruit to the pan, along with the coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and cumin. Stir.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to warm, soften, and absorb the flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir. Let it simmer uncovered for another 1-2 minutes until slightly well combined.
