Breadfruit sidedish.
jeev kaDgi is yet another favourite vegetable for the konkanis. I just came to know that it is called Breadfruit in English. A variety of dishes are made with this jeev kaDgi and I hope to blog sometime about all of them.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized jeev kaDgi
- Green chillies - 4
- Mustard - 1 teaspoon
- Grated coconut - 3 tablespoons
- Oil for seasoning
- Salt to taste
Method
- Peel the outer green skin of the breadfruit and cut into small pieces.
- Heat oil in a kaDai.
- Add mustard. After the mustard stops sputtering, add the green chillies slit into two.
- Now add the kaDgi pieces, salt to taste and fry on a small flame for a few minutes.
- Now add about half a cup of water (add more water if it is not enough), close the lid and cook the upkari till the water evaporates and the kaDgi is cooked.
- Finally garnish with grated coconut.
Tips
- Be sure to coat your hands and the knife with edible oil before cutting the kaDgi.
- You can put these pieces into water if you are not going to cook immediately to prevent the blackening (like potato)
Preparation time: 30 minutes
