BREADFRUIT TAWA FRY/BREADFRUIT SHALLOW FRY !!!!!


Breadfruit is a seasonal delicacy & amchis most favourite vegetable like thunder mushrooms, jack fruit etc. We call it JEEV KADGI in konkani & HEBBALASU in Kannada We can make deep fry, tawa /shallow fry, rava fry, pakoda, upkari, menaskai, curries etc using this vegetable. Today, i am posting breadfruit tawa/shallow fry recipe which is my most favourite.

INGREDIENTS:-

Breadfruit - half
Red chilly powder - 2tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
hing Powder - 1/4 tsp
Sooji rava/semolina - as you needed to fry this
Oil -  as needed

METHOD:-

1. Remove the skin of breadfruit & cut it into 4 pieces. Now take only 2 pieces. Now remove the core & cut it horizontally into 1/4 to 1/2  inch thick slices & keep aside.
2. In a bowl, mix red chilly pow+salt+hing pow & mix well. Now add very less water to make it a thick paste.
3. Now add breadfruit pieces to this paste & mix well until masala coats breadfruit pieces uniformly.
4. Now spread semolina/sooji rava in a plate & roll the breadfruit pieces on it one by one. Each piece should get an even coating of semolina on both the sides. 
5. In the meanwhile, heat tawa, put 2 tsp oil on it & spread it evenly on tawa. Now turn heat to low &  lay the breadfruit pieces. Now sprinkle a tsp of oil evenly on all pieces Now sprinkle 1/4 cup water evenly at all the sides of tawa & close it with a lid.
6. Cook the pieces on low heat for sometime till it cooks well or until it turns crispy/golden brown.
7. Now turn the pieces to another side & sprinkle a tsp/2 tsp of oil on all sides & cook it until turns crispy/golden brown ( Don't cover it with lid now).
8. Transfer it to a serving plate & serve hot as starter/ as side dish with rice.

HAPPY COOKING :)))))
