I had bought jackfruit peeled about 10 pieces from a shop. Ate 6 as they're, then suddenly felt like to make a pudding with the remaining 4. It was really delicious, enjoyed it, couldn't resist !
Ingredients
jackfruit pieces de-seeded 4 finely chopped
water 2 tbsp + more
jaggery pdr 1-2 tbsp as per taste
rice flour 1 1/2 tbsp roughly OR you may use maida/ suji/ wheat flour whatever you've, as it will help your pudding to come together.
nuts as desired
Preparations
In a micro safe pan, added the chopped jackfruit pieces, added 2 tbsp water, micro high for 2 minutes
they're soft, just mashed them with a spoon well, added jaggery, along with rice flour, mixed well, micro high for a minute
removed mixed well, felt little more water was needed to cook the rice flour well, added water mixed well, micro high for 2 minutes
mixed well, another 2 minutes adding some nuts.
Voila, ready to gorge literally. The smell was too inviting to resist.
You can surely double or triple the amount, you should be able to cook over the gas too.
As standing long to stir is painful for me, so I prefer to cook in microwave, while simultaneously doing some other work on the gas.
Don't throw the jackfruit seeds, you can use them in kulambu, or chop and use with other veges to get more protein.
Or else make halwa to satisfy your sweet tooth like me, which you can view in my next post.
