Kadgi Manchurian/Tender Jackfruit Manchurian/ Gujje Manchurian

My dad always told me that (Ram Lunch a restaurant in Mangaluru) sold Chakko ( a Konkani delicacy) in name of gujje Manchurian and I always laughed as I didn’t see it myself ;) , I always wondered how this manchurian would taste!

 Now I can say it’s just wonderful. The combination of traditional veggie in a indo chinese gravy is just awesome. This was made when my parents got me a tender jackfruit for us. I got very good reviews about my dish from family and friends so it had to take place in our blog J.

Notes:

This is my secret of making the manchurian batter. Adding the sauces to the batter makes the fried pieces more tastier.

You can even add green chilli sauce instead of red chilli sauce.

Make sure you cook the jackfruit pieces, in case you don’t cook the jackfruit pieces will not absorb the sauces easily.
