Raw jack fruit paratha ( kuvlyache parathe)

             

Since the time I have joined goan food mania ( goan based cooking group on facebook) I have become more n more creative in terms of inventing new dishes. Competitions on this group boost the enthusiasm to try out new recipes not only to win prizes but also to win cheering remarks and likes from fellow group members.

I have come up with the distinct idea of making raw jackfruit parathas which are made with easy to available ingredients, consumes less oil, requires less time and most important is very tasty. It can be considered as dish for morning breakfast or a evening snack or maybe best option in Tiffin .I think this dish will serve the purpose of making all the fussy eaters to consume raw jackfruit without complaining.
