Looking for some guilt free snacks ? Then go ahead and give this filling snacks a try. Jackfruits are in season in Kerala now, how about in other parts of the world?
This is a healthy quick fix snack that you can prepare on an iron griddle. I used my dosa griddle. Ripe jackfruits work best for this snack, however you can use over ripe plantains too. This is a simple Kerala style snack that you can prepare instantly and enjoy warm.

Preparation time ~ 10 minutes
Cooking time ~ 10 minutes
Author ~ Julie
Serves ~ 8 ada
Ingredients
whole wheat flour 1 cup
ripe jackfruit bulbs (without seeds) 1 cup
grated coconut 1/2 cup
jaggery syrup 1/8 cup
cardamom powder (elakka podi) 1/2 tsp
ghee to smear
Method
- Remove the seeds from the jackfruit bulbs.Cut it small and keep aside.
- Heat a pan and add the cut jackfruit bulbs. Cook the jackfruit until it's soft, switch off the flame and leave to cool. I cooked 2 cups of ripe jackfruit bulbs with 1/4 cup jaggery syrup. I removed half of this mix and made adas. Rest of the cooked jackfruit was frozen, made these adas again after two weeks.
- Add the wheat flour, grated coconut, cardamom powder and give a quick mix. Prepare a loose dough, I haven't added any water as the cooked jackfruit mix was enough to make the dough.
- Heat an iron griddle, I used my dosa tawa (you can use non-stick tawa too but may not get crisp adas). Scoop out a big lemon size dough and place on the hot griddle. Dip the fingers in water and spread the ada evenly to a round shape (don't touch the griddle at any point as it's very hot, spread over the dough).
- Wait for the ada to lightly brown, add ghee on top and flip the ada. Cook evenly until crisp. Remove to a plate.
- Repeat, making all the ada till the dough finishes. Makes 7-8 adas with this measure.
- Enjoy with black coffee / black tea.
NOTES
* I cooked 2 cups of ripe jackfruit bulbs with 1/4 cup jaggery syrup. I removed half of this mix and made adas, rest of the adas was frozen and made these adas again after two weeks.
* I used my dosa tawa, but you can use non-stick tawa too (may not get crisp adas).
* Don't touch the griddle at any point as it's very hot, spread over the dough with wet fingers.
* Depending on the sweetness of the ripe jackfruit bulbs, alter the amount of jaggery. This was very sweet so added only little jaggery syrup.
