Raw Jackfruit Cutlet is a delicious Kashmiri recipe that can be served as a starter before dinner. These kababs almost taste like shami kababs. Tender Jackfruit is steamed with chana dal and cinnamon, then coarsely ground to paste and then combined with different spices and shaped into patties. These can either be deep fried or shallow fried and served with ketchup or mint chutney.
