Halasina Hannina Mulka - Jackfruit Fritters is a traditional dish, originally recipe calls for deep frying. But for over six months I have not deep fried anything and I plan to keep it that way. Over the weekend I found Jackfruit and wanted to make mulka, so I experimented around and tried preparing it in my Air Fryer, came out yummy the first try. My Air fryer has the option for baking as well. So I first backed for 15 minutes, and then Air fried for 7 minutes. It was ready to eat after baking but, I wanted that roasted (bit burnt) outer layer which you get when deep fried. Yummy! 

  To be honest, in my opinion it turned out better than deep frying. I should confess, since I was not going to deep fry, I added some ghee to the dough and also brushed mulka with some ghee. Reminded me of the Southadka Ganapathi temple prasada - sweet appam. Of course, no where near the authentic temple prasada, but house was smelling like one.  I love that place ...so peaceful and serene open temple, how I wish to visit the temple now. I pray Lord Ganesha will bless me many more opportunity to visit again and again, ...and also visit his parents at Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala to offer my humble prayers.

There are many variations for the recipe, some also make with rice flour and/or sujji rava (semolina). I make with wheat flour and sujji rava. Also see Bale Hannina Mulka | Banana Fritters
