Jackfruit easy pudding- NO FAT

 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.
