Once the pressure has released open the lid and check if they are cooked. If slightly under cooked, do not pressure cook them again. They get mushy. Heat oil in a pan. Add the garlic and roast on a slow flame till they turn a golden brown. Add the chilly bits, toss and tip in the tender jackfruit pieces. Cover and cook till they are done. Serve with rice and dal.
