CRISPY DEEP FRIED CHEMPEDAK

Chempedak 

is a 'soft version' of the jackfruit.

It has a distinct smell you either like it or hate it
just like the King of Fruits, durians!

I bought the kampong type 

where there are many seeds covered with a thin layer of flesh.

If you come across a 'kahwin' type you may get less seeds but the flesh is thick!

A word of caution:
The fibre of the chempedak is quite difficult to bite and break,
so it is usually swallowed after chewing for sometime!

If you deep fry it, then it is easier to eat!
Like to try?
Here is the batter for deep frying:

Crispy Deep Fried Chempedak

batter enough for 20 pieces:

60g self raising flour

10g rice flour

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp baking powder

90g water

1) mix all ingredients until smooth

2) heat up oil for deep frying

3) coat chempedak with the batter

4) lower the heat & drop the fruits individually into the hot oil

5) when it starts to brown, increase temperature & let it brown

6) remove & drain

7) serve warm

Note:

1) too high heat will not cook the seeds! Normally the seeds are eaten together!
