Jeev kadgi podi / breadfruit fritter

This is one of my favourite vegetable.  Bread fruit is used in many Konkani dishes.  In Konkani its called “jeeve Kadgi”, in Malayalam “kadachakka/seemachakka”.   We generally prepare number of dishes using jeeve kadgi.  We had a huge tree in our neighbourhood plot which was owned by my hubby’s friends.   They were not at all aware the use of that fruit till one day they tasted the jeeve kadgi podi from my home,  they liked it very much and took the raw kadgi home and prepared from there taking recipe from me.   Surely you all will like it.

 

Ingredients

Breadfruit slices                               -      10 to 15

Chilly powder                                   -      2 to 3 tsp

Hing powder                                    -       ¼ tsp

Rice flour                                          -       2 to 3 tbsp

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying

Method

Peel the outer skin of the jeev kadgi (breadfruit) and remove the centre core.  (Do not throw away its skin we can prepare tasty stir fry from it).   

Make slices from it. Take one bowl add chilly powder, salt, hing and little water and make thick paste. Then add sliced breadfruit mix well so masala  gets coated evenly then keep aside for 10 to 15 min.

Then coat marinated slices in rice flour both sides. Slowly tap it so that excess flour is removed and keep aside.

Heat oil in deep frying pan and fry both sides until brown colour.

Remove from oil and serve hot as snack with tea, coffee or as a side dish with rice.

Rice, dalithoy with jeev kadgi podi makes awesome combo.

 

Wheat flour banana buns (Manglore Buns)

Mangalore Buns is a very popular breakfast item in almost all the hotels, restaurants and coffee shops in Mangalore.  They serve this with sambar and chutney.  It can be had without any side dish also.  I love Buns its a nostalgic breakfast for me because my Mamamma (Grand mother ) used to prepare this.  This was my favourite breakfast and when I used to stay with Mamamma’s home during my college days she used to prepare this once in a week.  Originally its prepared from maida but since we have stopped using maida long back I had not prepared it for long but my hubby and son loved this item I tried with wheat flour, surprisingly it gave better taste than maida but colour wise little different.  And it is safe and healthy too.

Ingredients

Wheat flour                               -  ½ kg

Ripe bananas                            -   4 to 5

Sugar                                          -   8 to 10 tbsp

Salt to taste

Baking soda                               -  ½ tsp

Curd                                            -  ½ cup

Oil                                                -  2 tbsp

Oil for deep frying

Extra flour for dusting

 

Method

Peel and slice the banana and smash them then add sugar, baking soda, curd and salt mix it well.  Heat 2 tbsp of oil and pour it on the curd mix. (if you do like this you get fluffier buns).  Then add flour to the mixture little by little and knead it well and prepare sticky dough.  (do not prepare hard dough, we need wet and rubbery dough for preparing buns).  Cove the bowl and allow it to rest in room temperature for 7-8 hours for fermentation.

After fermentation knead it well and prepare small balls, dust it in plane flour  and roll into thick poories.  Heat oil in a deep frying pan lower the flame to medium heat.  As soon as you drop the poories into oil it puffs up, turnover, fry both sides till golden brown, remove the Buns form oil.   Serve hot with chutney or sambar.  It tastes while it is hot, but it can be stored for one or two days in room temperature.
