Instructions

Notes

  • Only raw jackfruit works for the chips, if its slightly ripe also the chips will not turn crisp ,it might be soggy .
  • In that case sun dry the sliced jackfruit for a day or 8 hours in hot sun.
  • Check if the jackfruit is dried well without any moisture and then you can fry to get crispy chips.
  • If nor sun drying, you can double fry the chips to make it crispy.
  • I have used pepper powder in this recipe as it is good for the kids, you can also you chilli powder or can also be skipped .
  • Usually salt and turmeric powder is mixed well with water and sprinkled in hot oil while deep frying ,but its not safe as the oil might splash or burst ,so I always add spices after frying ,There is no compromise in taste it tastes equally good.
