First, separate the jackfruit flesh from the fibrous threads. Once done, remove the seeds from the flesh.- 3
Cut the jackfruit flesh into long, thin pieces—just like traditional jackfruit chips.- 4
Heat enough oil in a deep pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the jackfruit pieces into the oil.- 5
Deep fry on high flame until the chips start turning golden. Then reduce the flame to low.- 6
Mix a little salt in water. Carefully sprinkle this saltwater over the frying chips. (Do this with caution, as oil may splatter.)- 7
Once the chips are crispy and evenly golden, remove them from the oil and drain excess oil.- 8
Your crispy, golden Chakka Varuthathu is ready! Perfect with a hot cup of tea. - 2
