Lollipops are lip smacking starters and appetizers for Indians. The spicyness, flavour and the crispyness of lollipops is a favourite treat for us. I have try to make jackfruit lollipops with simple ingredients what always available  in our kitchen. Without using of any sauces ,ajinomoto ,and all purpose flour. These lollipops are pan fried not deep fried. So it's quite possible to make with less oil. I choose the lengthy raw jackfruit because it's less fiber and perfect for 65, pakoda, fries and lollipops.
