Cooking breadfruit in the simplest Goan style

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: almond milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola oil is often less expensive.

green chili

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Stir in chopped onions, garlic, and ginger; cook until onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add turmeric, coriander powder, and salt; stir to combine.

Add diced breadfruit and mix well to coat with spices.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until breadfruit is tender.
