Crispy Jackfruit Chips

Step 1: Prepare the Jackfruit

Carefully cut the unripe jackfruit into very thin slices. Ensure the slices are uniform for even cooking.

Step 2: Dry the Jackfruit Slices

Spread the thinly sliced jackfruit pieces evenly on a clean newspaper or paper towel. Allow them to air dry for some time to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving crispiness.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

Heat a sufficient amount of cooking oil in a deep pan or kadai over high flame until it is hot enough for deep frying.

Step 4: Deep Fry the Chips

Carefully add the dried jackfruit slices into the hot oil. Deep fry the chips on high flame for 5-6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and become crispy. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5: Drain Excess Oil

Once the chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or strainer. Place them on a plate lined with tissue paper to drain any excess oil.

Step 6: Season and Serve

While the chips are still warm, sprinkle salt over them to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating. Serve the crispy jackfruit chips immediately as a snack.

• Ensure the jackfruit slices are thin for maximum crispiness.

• Drying the jackfruit slices on newspaper helps remove excess moisture, leading to crispier chips.

• Maintain a high flame during deep frying to achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture.

• Add a pinch of chili powder or black pepper for a spicy kick.

• Experiment with other seasonings like chaat masala or garlic powder.
