Ingredients

  • 1/2 a medium sized breadfruit
  • oil for shallow frying

For the marination:

  • 1-1/2 - 2 tablespoons bafat powder * adjust according to the number of slices and thickness of masala
  • 2 marble sized balls of tamarind (soaked in a little warm water or tamarind paste (adjust to taste)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the skin of the breadfruit and make slices of medium thickness.
  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients mentioned under 'For the marination' and make a thick paste using a few drops of water (the moisture from the tamarind paste should suffice, but if required, add some water too). Apply this paste to the breadfruit slices and keep aside for 10-15 mins.
  • Heat oil a heavy based frying pan and fry the slices (don't overcrowd the pan) till golden on both sides. Remove onto an absorbent kitchen tissue.
  • Serve hot as a side to rice and curry.

Notes

If you don't have bafat powder you can use any spice blend of your choice that has a mix of red chillies, coriander, cumin and turmeric (basic). Kundapur Taal Masala is a good substitute.
