Jackfruit ada is cooked at most homes during the season when the fruit is abundantly available in our backyards. The batter can be steamed in bay leaves or plantain leaves to add that extra aroma.
The evening snack is loved by both kids and adults alike. Interestingly, millets are used in this recipe instead of rice powder or semolina. Check out the recipe of a super soft and nutritious jackfruit – millet ada.
