Jackfruit Chips




Ingredients:

* Raw jack fruit- 1 whole fruit or half (depending upon your needs)
* Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
* Salt- to taste
* Water- 3 tbsp
* Vegetable oil- enough for deep frying

Preparation:

* If using fresh jackfruit, it’s a good idea to oil your knife and hands first before cutting, as the fruit has sticky latex in it.

* First cut the fruit into half and remove the central core from it.

* Pull out the flesh bulbs from the rag and remove the seeds from it.

* Cut the fruit into thin long wedges; make sure to cut all the fruits evenly for better frying.

* Combine the turmeric powder, salt and water in a small bowl and keep aside.

* Heat a deep fryer or a frying pan in medium-high, add enough oil for frying, wait till the oil is heated through, add the cut fruits and fry it stirring constantly.

* While frying, add about 1/2 tsp of turmeric, water, and salt mix and give it a stir.

* When adding the turmeric mix, step back as the oil will bubble up making a slight sound; don’t panic, it will settle down soon.

* Fry until the chips turn golden brown and transfer it to a platter with paper towel on it.

* When it cools down, don’t even wait for another second, grab a handful and start chewing the crispy chips.
