Bread Fruit Pan Fry Recipe (Easy, Quick, Flavourful Jeev Kadgi Phodi Recipe)
Simplest, quickest, super flavourful bread fruit side you can make.
Super quick, super easy to make, few ingredients, few minutes to make & so so yummy these jeev kadgi phodis are. I resort to these during Ganesh Chaturthi cooking when I'm pressed for time with everything else to cook.
Watch video of how they end up:
Ingredients:
1/4 bread fruit
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon asafoetida powder
1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
Oil for frying
Salt to taste
Serves: 2
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cooking time: 4 minutes
Preparation Method:
1. Peel bread fruit, peel using a peeler or use a knife to chop off the peel.
2. Slice them into thick or thin slices. Chop off the middle core if required.
3. Thickness of slice is your choice, if you make them thin they might get little crisp, if they're thick they'll be soft & nice, if they're too thick they’ll give you pillowy soft phodis.
4. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, asafoetida powder to the slices, mix well, let them sit for 2 minutes.
5. Heat up a tawa, lay down the slices next to each other on the hot tawa.
6. Cook the slices on one side on high flame by drizzling coconut oil on top of each slice.
7. Cook them closed with a lid on for a minute, put off the flame.
8. Keep it closed with the lid on for another minute while which slices cook in the steam.
9. Open the lid, flip them on another side to cook them on another side.
10. Cook them closed on high flame again for another minute. Add oil if required on top of each slice.
11. Put off the flame, keep it closed for another minute.
12. Soon after remove the slices from the tawa. If you leave it any longer on the tawa it starts to become dry.
13. Enjoy while hot, as they cool down they become very slightly hard & lose the softness they have while they're still hot.
P.S: For my kid & me I make these phodis with just salt too, I love those salted bread fruit slices too.
