Hands up if you love Indian food<\/strong>! My love for indian food arose during my time as an Au Pair in the US, as my former host parents are originally from India. Every other night my host mum served up some indian deliciousness like rajma and dhal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the weekends she would also sometimes make pakoras<\/strong>. Pakoras are usually made from vegetables that are dipped in a batter of chickpea flour and various spices and fried afterwards. I am not a big fan of fried food but I was never able to resist when pakoras were served.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n

What Is Jackfruit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this non-fried pakora recipe I am using jackfruit. Jackfruit is a large, tropcial fruit<\/strong>. Ripe jackfruit has a waxy texture and sweet taste. When unripe (like the jackfruit found in cans), its texture is more fibrous and the flavour more neutral.<\/strong> We use this canned young jackfruit this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out your local Asian stores or search online if you can't find canned jackfruit in the stores you usually shop at.<\/p>\n\n\n
