Ingredients:

250 gms of jackfruit or 10 - 12 pieces

1 small capsicum

2 small onion

2 inch ginger

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

2 tsp soy sauce

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp chilli paste

2 sliced green chilli

salt as per taste

2 tbsp oil

For Slurry:

1 tbsp corn flour

1/2 cup water

For batter:

2 tbsp cornflour

2 tbsp maida

1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 tsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp black pepper powder

salt as per taste

Method:

Cut the jackfruit into 1 inch by 1inch quarters. Before cutting the jackfruit apply some oil on your knife and all over your palms to prevent the stickiness.

Now pressurcook the jackfruits over high flame untill 1 whistle. Let the jackfruits come to room temperature.

Now we will prepare for the batter. Mix all the ingredients for batter. Add little amount of water. Make the batter semithick.

To get the evenly coated jackfruit , make the batter first then dip it into the batter. Deep fry the jackfruits in medium heat. Keep it aside.

Now heat the kadai. Put oil. Add the ginger garlic paste, green chilli, ginger cubes. Keep the flame high. Saute it for 2 minutes.

Now add quartered capsicum and onion. Add salt. Saute it in high flame for 2-3 minutes. Keep it little bit raw to get the crunch in every bite.

Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup and green chili sauce. You can adjust the quantity of sauces according to your taste. While adding the sauces keep the flame medium-low to avoid burning of the dish.

Add fried jackfruit. Now make the slurry by adding cornflour and water. Add the slurry to the kadai. Turn the flame into high. Stire it for 3-5 minutes. I am making it with semi gravy. But if you want you can make it dry by adding 2 tbsp of slurry to it.

Garnish this Chilli jackfruit with white sesame seeds. Serve hot as a starter or side dish.
