Jackfruit Fritters

Ingredients:

• 1 cup ripe jackfruit pieces, deseeded and cut into small chunks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons rice flour (for extra crispiness)
• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional, for flavor)
• 1/2 cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, and cardamom powder (if using).

2. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter. The batter should have a thick consistency that coats the back of a spoon.

3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

4. Dip each jackfruit piece into the batter, ensuring it's well coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil. You can fry a few fritters at a time, depending on the size of your frying pan.

5. Fry the fritters until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even frying. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. Once they are golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

7. Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving. You can optionally dust them with powdered sugar or serve with a drizzle of syrup for added sweetness.

8. Enjoy your homemade jackfruit fritters as a delightful snack or dessert!
