Instructions

Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispier results.
Blanch the potato sticks in boiling water for 30-60 seconds. This par-cooks the potatoes, ensuring they cook through when fried.
Drain the potatoes and spread them on a plate to cool slightly.
Thinly slice the onion and deep fry until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Pressure cook the jackfruit seeds for 2-3 whistles until tender.
Once the jackfruit seeds have cooled, peel off the outer skin.
Thoroughly mash the peeled jackfruit seeds until smooth.
Add the rice flour to the mashed jackfruit seeds. This acts as a binder and adds a crispy texture.
Coat each potato stick evenly with the jackfruit seed mixture.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Carefully add the coated potato sticks and deep fry until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried potato sticks and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle with chaat masala and serve hot, garnished with the crispy fried onions.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For extra crunch, chill the shaped potato and jackfruit seed sticks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying.
For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free rice flour and avoid wheat-based additives in the fried onions.
Dry roast the jackfruit seeds lightly before boiling or steaming to enhance their nutty flavor.
Serve with tangy dips like coriander-mint chutney or spiced yogurt sauce.

Expert Tips

Experiment with different spices in the coating mixture, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder, to customize the flavor profile.
Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in batches to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
If you don't have jackfruit seeds, try using boiled and mashed chickpeas as a substitute.
