Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can young green jackfruit (canned, in water)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups oil for deep frying
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon chopped green chili
Instructions
Drain the canned young green jackfruit and rinse under running water. Gently squeeze out excess water and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring until a smooth batter is formed.
Pat the jackfruit dry to remove any remaining moisture, then dip each piece into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the battered jackfruit pieces into the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5–7 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, chopped red onion, and green chili in a small bowl. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
Serve the crispy jackfruit alongside the dipping sauce and enjoy your Vegetarian Crispy Pata!
