How to make Fried Jackfruit ( Nangka Goreng )


Jackfruit is one of my favorite fruit. This is an enormous and sticky fruit that's look like durian but it's larger, can easily be found in some traditional markets in my hometown and other places in Indonesia. It has very sweet taste and smell. We can find the jackfruit in Southeast Asia, South Asia or in Brazil. Sometime I am very lazy to prepare the jackfruit because it's very resinous and sticky , so I must lubricate my hand with the vegetable oil before reaching its yellow flesh of jackfruit. 

The jackfruit can be eaten as fresh fruit or mixed with other ingredients as traditional dishes or making as chip jackfruit. You can also cook raw jackfruit with coconut milk that its texture and taste look like chicken's meat (For Vegan, recommended as substitute of meat , if they want to eat chicken's curry).
Do not throw away the pits of the jackfruit because its taste is savory like chestnut, but we must boil it first until soft. 

Recently, my sister in law brought me a big ripe jackfruit from her own garden . I was very happy because she also share a yummy new recipe, named  fried jackfruit.
It's very simple recipe but I need little bit effort to peel of the big jackfruit. If you don't want be messy and laborious , alternatively, you can choose the canned jackfruit that probably available in some supermarkets. 
Here they are the recipe of  fried jackfruit  from my sisters in law :

Ingredients :
- 10-15 pieces of  yellow flesh of jackfruit ( the pits was already removed  ) 
-  2 Cup wheat flour
- 1 Cup rice flour ( it's optional,the rice flour can make its taste more crunchy )
- 1 tea spoon of salt
- Vegetable oil - enough for deep frying 
- 175 ml of water

Directions :
  • Combine water, wheat flour,rice flour, salt , then put jackfruit , stir it with hand.

  • Cook one to two minutes on each side or until golden brown
  • Drain on paper towel
  • Serve hot as snack or side dish

Lubricate your hand, knife with vegetable oil or using gloves, cut the jackfruit with paring knife
Cut into 4-6 pieces with paring knife. Remove its core and fibrous strands which  wrap the yellow flesh
