Ponsa Mulik/ Jackfruit Fritters

MULIK is a traditional deep-fried sweet jackfruit fritter made in monsoon seasons when the jackfruit is available in abundance in Karavali !! You can prepare this with ground rice also, but I've used it here Rava because it is very easy. Grind the jackfruit, coconut, jaggery into a paste and store it in the freezer, and use as and when you want to make Mulik, by adding Rava to it.

With the same paste, you can make jackfruit idli or Muddo, by adding idli Rava to it. It also tastes yummy.

1 cup chopped jackfruit bulbs

1 cup semolina/ Rava
