Jackfruit Dosa

Idli or dosa batter are like blank canvas, you may add almost anything and everything to pretty them up with varities. Be it sweet or savoury, both versions has their own fan following. If you're my regular food blog follower, you might noticed different type of dosa in my blog. I love to play with ingredients and create something new. One of those are this crispy jackfruit dosa.

This Indian crepe are absolutely delicious by it's own with little hint of sweetness from the riped jackfruit and some caramelized flavor of vellam. Do not add too much of vellam as not to ruin the authentic taste of jackfruit. Just a little sprinkling of vellam will do.

For darker colur you might replace vellam with jaggery or karupatti but, I want that beautiful yellow unadultered. You may skip the vellam if you prefer to retain the natural fruit sweetness. As for my case, both my Dandelions love it with a sprinkle of vellam which i believe enhance the taste of this golden crepe. The colur credit goes to the jackfruit pulps and ghee. 

My elder Dandelion kept on commenting how good the smell coming from the kitchen which, i attribute to the ghee. Use good quality ghee for the crispiness of the dosa, for the beautiful golden hue and without a doubt for an excellent taste. My Dandeliom couldn't stop praising the deadly combo of ghee,vellam and jackfruit. Serve this yummy jackfruit dosa on it's own for breakfast or dinner
