Description
Jackfruit cutlets . Had a huge jackfruit at home sent over by my hubby’s aunt . Ate a few , made jackfruit payasam and still some more left behind . The only dish I know to cook with ripe jackfruits is the payasam . Remembered jackfruit being high lighted with a couple of recipes in a magazine . Went through and came across a recipe . Sounded good , started of only towards the end .. Just before frying did I note that the original recipe demanded raw jackfruit . Having no other option other than to stick on to what ever I did . Just went ahead . Served it to hubby and was waiting for his verdict like a contestant in master chef before the judges . He had one and told nothing !!! Asked him how is the cutlet ? With a board smile he’s like “it’s different and tastes good “. I want to take some for my friend , so save 4 of these . . I was super excited about this star movement . My chance to taste and it was a marriage of sweet encroaching into savoury in one bite . It just melted away in my mouth . It is so simple to make and high on taste that these cutlets will sure be a permanent fixture on your party menu served as a starter And Sure will be a feisty contrast . A blunder turned into a wonder at home :-)))
