JACK FRUIT 

JACK FRUIT CHIPS

Ingredients:

Raw jack fruit / Chakkachula
Salt (mix with little water)
Oil for deep frying

Method:

• Clean the raw jack fruit / chakkachula and remove chakkakuru / jack fruit seeds, cut off both the bottom and top edges. (reserve the edges to make chakka puzhakku and store chakkakuru for making delicious side dishes ;)).
• Slice chakkachula / jack fruit into long thin pieces.
• Heat oil in a big pan / uruli.
• Add the jack fruit slices in batches and fry until crisp and golden, stirring the oil occasionally so the chips are evenly cooked.
• Sprinkle a little salt water into the oil before removing the chips with a slotted spoon. Drain in a deep colander or basket.
• Spread the chips out on paper to cool and then store in airtight container.
