Note – Apply coconut oil to your hand and knife while dealing with Jackfruit. It tends to get sticky. Use good quality sharp knife. Jackfruit tends to discolour easily so keep a bowl of water ready to immerse the chopped pieces.

Combine both the ingredients, add rice flour, salt to taste, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and finely chopped coriander leaves. Note – We have already added salt while cooking Jackfruit and Potatoes separately so add salt with caution, after tasting.

Preheat the air fryer at 180 degrees C for atleast 5 to 7 minutes. Brush some oil on both sides of the cutlets before placing it inside the Air fryer. Cook these for about 10 mins at 180 degrees C Remove, flip and cook for another 5 mins at 180 degrees to achieve the golden brown crisp colour.

Repeat the proces swith the other cutlets. Place around 7-8 cutlets at a time and not over crowd them so they develop the colour and texture.
