Ingredients
Jackfruit Seeds
Spices & Aromatics
- 1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 3/4 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Pepper black
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 Chilies finely chopped, green
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
Other Ingredients
- 1 medium Potato boiled and peeled
- 1 large Egg beaten
- Salt to taste
- Breadcrumb as needed
Instructions
- Remove the tough white outer skin from the jackfruit seeds. This can be done by hand or with a knife.
- Wash the jackfruit seeds. Pressure cook them with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder for 3 whistles until tender. This helps soften the seeds and reduce cooking time later.
- Boil the potato until tender. Peel and set aside.
- Once the jackfruit seeds and potato have cooled, mash them thoroughly. A smooth mash ensures the cutlets will hold their shape.
- In a wide bowl, combine the mashed jackfruit seeds, mashed potato, red chili powder, garam masala, black pepper, turmeric powder, chopped green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
- Lightly grease your hands with oil. Take a lemon-sized portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat cutlet.
- Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded cutlets in the pan in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. Frying over medium heat ensures the cutlets cook through without burning.
- Remove the cooked cutlets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with green chutney or tomato ketchup.

Expert Tips
