Prepare the Jackfruit Filling

Assemble and Fry the Cutlets

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Kathal Chop
- For extra flavor, marinate the jackfruit in a little turmeric and salt for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If using canned jackfruit, ensure it's well-drained before mashing to prevent the cutlets from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your spice preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
