Hello! I just wanted to let you know you are invoking so many memories for me. Your food is similar to what my mother makes! She is koknastha altho we are from Pune but similar food and similar words. Hope you keep going

And yes! Jackfruit chips are great…we call it Phanas in marathi.

The jackfruit seeds would be dried and saved in their crisy white skins to be used in other things. They would be cooked with lentils or beans and served with coconut sauce as masalo curries. Or they would be roasted on coals and eaten just as a snack.In a village people used to be frugal so nothing was thrown away. The jackfruit skins and other waste was fed to cows.

hi shilpa,
great blog u have here !i too have fond memories of childhood relating to jf chips…in our native idgunji(karwar)where we used to spend summer hols,they wud fry these HUGE batch of chips in a HUGE kadai in the open courtyard n yes they wud vanish instantly…thinks what gives them the unique taste is the frying in coconut oil..i also liked the other shape jf chips…the triangular ones…

Hi Shilpa!
Panas Balka chips look nice. First time heard of making chips with jackfruit. Will share it among friends and family. Is it the same method to do banana chips which my little daughter loves a lot

Shipa: Yes iswaree, its the same method. After peeling the bananas, put them in water for some time. Then take them out, cut them, then spread on a clean cloth till they are dry. Then you can make chips in same way.
