Jackfruit Gadbad-International Sundae Incident

Time for this month's IIP. And what better choice in the season of love than a sundae!
One of my fellow bloggers and reader had requested me long ago for a "Gadbad". This one's for you Adam.
Gadbad in Indian languages means "confusion". I guess this dessert is named so because of the fusion of tastes. Its is said to have orignated in coastal Karnataka, specifically Mangalore. Usually scoops of different flavoured ice-creams are used, I have only used one homemade version. Needless to say this one was difficult to photograph (you can guess why) and very quick to vanish.
I have also used Homemade Jelly, if you havent tried it out yet, do give it a shot. The rose flavour of the jelly was simply great in this sundae!

Ingredients-
Jackfruit Icecream
Homemade Jelly
Fresh jackfruit
Dry fruit mix-
Figs
almonds
apricots
To assemble-
  • Scrape the jelly with a fork and layer at the bottom.
  • Scoop icecream (single flavour or different).
  • Garnish with jackfruit and dry fruit chunks.
  • Add a wafer biscuit and serve!

    Know something Shirley ... I'm having a very really bad cough for 2 weeks and I'm getting better now, all thanks to eating Jackfruit. Tip is to eat it straight after cutting up the fruit and not washing it. Seems it's a cure for cough.

    What a colorful and flavorful gadbad! I don't think I've ever had jelly served in a sundae before, it looks amazing.

    I was actually wondering if anyone had tried making ice cream with jackfruit and I see it here :) It must be so fragrant and delicious. Your sundae looks lovely and colorful!

    Gadbad is a new concept to me...and I like it. I love the ice cream flavor and the flashy jelly cubes. Great job on the challenge!
