What kind of jackfruit should I use for these cutlets?

For these cutlets, you'll need 2 cups of cooked jackfruit that has been shredded or minced, providing the ideal texture for shaping into patties.

What spices give these cutlets their flavor?

The cutlets are seasoned with a fragrant blend of turmeric powder, garam masala, fresh ginger, green chilis, and curry leaves, creating a rich, aromatic profile.

How do I ensure my jackfruit cutlets get crispy?

To achieve a crispy exterior, ensure the oil for shallow frying is hot before adding the cutlets, then turn the heat to medium-low and fry until they are golden brown.

Can I bake these jackfruit cutlets instead of frying?

The recipe specifies shallow frying to achieve a golden, crispy crust. While baking might be possible, it would alter the texture and may not yield the same crispiness as frying.

How to Prepare Breaded Jackfruit Cutlet [Vegan]

In a pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, ginger, green chilis, curry leaves, and salt. Sauté it until the onion turns tender.
Add the turmeric powder and garam masala and stir.
Add the cooked jackfruit and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix and cook it for 2 minutes.
Once the mix cools down a little, take golfball-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into cutlets.
Heat the oil in a pan for frying the cutlets. Once hot, turn down the heat to medium-low.
In a bowl, take the all-purpose flour and add water to it to form a batter (not too thick, nor too runny).
Dip each cutlet into the batter and then roll it in the breadcrumbs and shallow fry it the oil until it browns.
Remove it onto a plate lined with a kitchen towel/paper towels. Serve it hot with some ketchup and onions.

Notes

For cooking the tender jackfruit, steam the jackfruit pieces until they start to pull apart easily when pricked. Remove it from the steamer and let it cool a little. Shred/Mince the jackfruit pieces in a food processor to cut it down into smaller pieces. Don't overdo it. Keep the breadcrumbs in a bowl and not in a plate. This would help prevent wastage of bread crumbs and at the same time help the bread crumbs spread evenly over the cutlet. Since the cutlet mixture is already cooked, it's just the breadcrumb coating that needs to be cooked. Hence, fry it just until the cutlet surface turns dark brown in color.
