Goan Breadfruit Rava Fried

Goans love the breadfruit and when the breadfruit is in season, we’ll use it in curries or simply fry it coated with semolina. Follow the simple steps listed below and the Goan Breadfruit Rava Fried for yourself. (I made this for Valentine’s Day and that explains the cover picture 🙂 )

Serves – A Family of Four

Prep. Time – 20 Mins. + 15 Mins. (marination)

Step 1:     Peel the outer skin of the breadfruit, remove the inner core and slice thin. Keep immersed in salt water for 10 minutes.

Step 2:     Drain the water and dry the slices with a kitchen towel. Place the slices in a bowl and sprinkle 1 tsp. chilly powder, ½ tsp turmeric and ¼ tsp salt. Mix well and leave aside to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
