Jackfruit appam recipe| Chakka appam | How to prepare Jackfruit appam recipes with detailed step by step photos. This jackfruit appam recipe is traditional know as appam/paniyaram and also called as nei appam. We prepare this sweet during special occasions but we use banana. since its seasonal fruit i used jackfruit, rice and banana to prepare the nei appam. But jackfruit also taste equally good. The outer part is lightly crispy, and the inner part very soft. It is prepare with rice, jaggery and coconut. Jackfruit appam recipe is very easy to prepare the only thing is that, you have to soak the rice before hand.
The jackfruit appam is know as Gaarige or jackfruit fritters and also famous in mangalore. I used paniyaram pan for this recipe. If you do not have paniyaram pan, and you can deep fry it in oil in kadai. Jackfruit aroma with coconut and ghee makes it tastier, Yes ghee also used to fry the appams. You can use the regular cooking oil, but ghee gives the authentic taste to appam. Soak the rice for 3 hours only then you will get soft batter, I used dry ginger powder which enhance the taste but its optional, do not skip cooking or baking soda in this recipe as i makes appam soft and cooks evenly.
