Jackfruit appam or Jackfruit sweet paniyaram is called Gaarige in Tulu . One of the traditional Mangalorean dishes during the monsoon season.
This is a recipe sent to me by a reader friend Sahana. I wanted to post it during Ganesh chaturthi itself, though late, I did not want to miss this recipe.
So tried it with the jackfruit left over after trying Jackfruit payasam. Thank you so much for sharing this traditional recipe on How to make this Gaarige.
Many of us are familiar with manglore buns, this one is so new and relatable to our sweet appam/ paniyaram.
This has to be traditionally deep fried. I chose to use my appam pan/ paniyaram pan.
So it’s upto you to decide on which method to choose. I have not seen this in many places in this blog world.
Who ever posted has done it as gaarige, but it is very very similar to the nei appam, banana appam.
So I thought this should be easy for everyone to interpret. Lets learn how to make Jackfruit appam, an easy and simple recipe.
You can follow the same method and use ripe mango too.

Drain water completely and grind it in a mixer, with jaggery, jack fruit and cardamom, to a smooth batter.
Transfer to a mixing bowl, add cooking soda, salt and grated coconut (I did not add), dry ginger powder (if adding) and mix well.

Notes
- Make sure to make the appams instantly as we are adding fresh fruit.
- If you set the batter, it will become frothy and may not be good.
- The original recipe she sent, had no cooking soda in it. I added to make sure the appams get cooked inside. If deep fried, may be it will get cooked without soda, but as I made with appam pan, I thought I should add cooking soda.
- I forgot to add coconut, but highly recommend using it.
- Adding salt ensures to bring the sweetness well in this recipe, so do not skip.

Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Couple of questions: 1. Can we use canned Jackfruit?
2. How long will it stay good?
TIA.Reply

Since we add coconut milk should be consumed same day if at room temperature. If in fridge, for 2 days. If you want, you can prepare and keep without coconut milk, stays good for more than a week and just mix coconut milk when needed to make payasam

The recipe doesn't say cocounut milk and it is an appam, right, not payasam? I am a bit confused by your reply. Sorry. Can you please clarify again?
And also, can I use canned jackfruit?

Yes you can try with cacnned fruit. Should be consumed within 24 hours better. If deep fried can stay good for 2 days.Reply

Thanks.Reply

You can try, but mixing won't be easy. So heat to melt and use. Adjust jaggery accordingly

Can I use rice flour or rice rava instead?
If yes, how much should I use?Reply
Raks Anand
You can use rice flour. Not sure about rice rava as I have not used it so far. 1 & 1/2 to 1 & 3/4 cups rice flour should be enough I guess.

I made this appam. Taste is good but not getting cooked well. If I keep for a while it becomes black. Usually when I make paniyaram it comes out well. I tried jackfruit appam with the recipe.
