Jackfruit Mullik/ Sweet pakoda- 2

Jackfruit Mullik is a delicacy prepared by the Konkani community of South Canara.  I have already posted one  which uses coconut, but without cashew nuts. One can use rice, wheat flour or semolina for binding the puree of the jackfruit segments made. I prefer using semolina as it turns crisp on the outside but deliciously soft inside.

Ingredients:

2 cups jackfruit segments chopped

1/2 cup jaggery or as per preference

1 cup semolina

3/4 tsp cardamom powder

4 cashewnuts chopped fine

A pinch of salt

Coconut oil to fry.

Method:

Puree the jackfruit along with the jaggery without adding water. Tip this paste into a bowl. Add salt, cashew bits and the semolina. Mix thoroughly and allow to stand for ten minutes.  Heat coconut oil in a pan. Take small portions of this batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry on a medium flame to a golden brown. Serve hot.
