And the spicy Vodi! I think they are made with flour, garlic, red pepper and salt. Delicious! Goes very well with dahi-bhaat or even a chilled beer. Now that our india trip is about a month away, there was no need to hoard these any more. ;-)

Konkani Delicacies: Jackfruit Hapol and Vodi
Deep-fried foods are rare in our home. We save it for our favorite konkani delicacies: Jackfruit (Phansa-) Hapol and Spicy Vodi. Haaaah! During our summer holidays in Honavar and Kumta, we kids helped make them. The women would roll the hapol and we would carry them up the rickety stairs to the temporary roof (mandal) made of palm fronds and spread them on the woven mats. As they dried in the blazing sun, the pattern of the mats could be seen on the hapol. For a light snack at any time, deep fry the hapol and serve with freshly grated coconut! Heavenly. A few months ago, one of our friends brought these back from Udupi. May she live long and healthy!
