KADGI PODI

kadgi podi (Tender jackfruit fry)

Kadgi podi  or tender jack fruit fry  is one of the most favourite dish to almost all  Konkanis.  It is  prepared  in most of the  festivals and feasts.  Its my favourite dish and I never bothered about eating the deep fried podis  since it is  available for a short season in a year.  Most people avoid preparing jack fruit recipes because its very messy affair, but this dish is worth trying.
