Jackfruit/Kathal Pakora (Jackfruit Fritters)

One fine evening I did not have anything to have with tea!Marie biscuits had got over and I had a late brunch after which I was terribly hungry.I had prepped and boiled Jackfruit which I had stashed away in the refrigerator and that plus Kanda Bajji (Onion Pakoras) came to my mind!I thought of mixing both and making Pakoras.This turned out to be a super success so that I prepared my camera and took pics for all of you to know this surprisingly easy process as well.

I have mentioned in a previous post on how to prep Jackfruit and I will be inserting the link in the “INGREDIENTS” list.Serve this with hot tea.Nothing better than that!
