The translation of pelakai
mulka in English is Jackfruit sweet balls.Pelakai means Jackfruit in tulu. This
is very famous mangalorean cuisine, liked by everyone in the family. As
pelakai, I mean jackfruit have already arrived in the market, so I thought this
is an apt recipe to post.
Method
Wash and soak rice for 1hour.
Grind jackfruit, jaggery and
coconut grated in mixie without adding water
Add soaked rice, peppercorn
and salt and grind to thick paste (don’t add water while grinding)
Heat oil in kadai/wok
Using hand or spoon take
batter and deep fry in oil until mulka turns dark brown (cook on medium flame).
Serve
Note:-
Do not reserve the batter for next day,
it taste sour.
I like the aroma of coconut oil so I
prefer coconut oil for frying mulka; you
can use any oil of your choice.
