A very good day to all my dear friends!
How are you all doing? I hope everything is going well on your end. Right now in Sri Lanka, jackfruit is in season and widely available. However, I decided to prepare it in a different and creative way. This is a bite-sized snack made using ripe jackfruit. Known for its unique texture and naturally sweet, earthy flavor, jackfruit is a beloved ingredient in many Sri Lankan kitchens. When soft, ripe jackfruit is transformed into a flavorful and mildly spiced snack, it becomes both a delicious and nutritious treat. This type of bite is perfect for tea time, small gatherings, or even as a midday snack with a twist of traditional flavor. With minimal ingredients and satisfying results, it's a wonderful way to use seasonal jackfruit in a new and inventive way. So let’s take a look at how to prepare it, step by step.

Materials Used.

1 1/2 finely chopped onions.
3 cloves of garlic, chopped.
4 Chopped green chilli pods.
curry leaves.
1 Pandan leaves.
Coconut oil for frying.
Salt to taste.
1/2 Teaspoon of Mustard Seeds.
2 Tablespoon of Corn Flour.
1/3 Teaspoon of Fenugreek seed.
1 Teaspoon of Chilli Powder.
1 Teaspoon of crushed chili powder.

The cooking process as follows.

First, wash and clean the jackfruit pieces thoroughly, then slice them thinly as shown below. Add salt and corn flour, and mix well.

Next, take a pan and add coconut oil. Place it on the stove, and once the oil is hot, fry the jackfruit pieces until they turn golden brown.

Next, take another pan and place it on the stove. Add about two tablespoons of coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add chopped garlic, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, chopped onion, green chilies, pandan leaves, and curry leaves. Mix well.

Finally, add chili powder, turmeric powder, and crushed chili flakes, then mix well. Add the previously fried jackfruit pieces to the mixture, combine thoroughly, and remove from the stove after about 2 minutes.

So, this is how we can prepare food in a unique way. Once prepared, this jackfruit bite offers a deliciously crisp texture on the outside and a soft, flavorful interior that melts in your mouth. It’s a satisfying, homemade treat that connects through its taste and simplicity. Enjoy it warm with a cup of tea, and share it with your loved ones for a true taste of home. That's all from me for today. Wishing you all a wonderful day!
