Here are 12 really nice reciepes, simply copy, paste, print and cook...
hope they help....

Roasted Breadfruit
Roast the breadfruit whole over charcoal (the best method), or directly over a gas burner. Turn the fruit as it begins to char. The roasting takes about an hour. When steam starts to escape from the stem end, the breadfruit is done.

Remove the breadfruit from the fire, and cut a circle at the stem end. Scoop out the heart, and discard it. Scoop out the meat, or cut off the charred outer skin, and cut the meat into slices, and serve it hot.

Breadfruit Soup
1 ripe breadfruit
1 litre clear beef soup
pepper
5ml paprika
salt (?)
juice of one lime
100ml coconut cream

Pierce breadfruit skin and bake for 35 minutes at 180ÂºC or microwave for 8-12 minutes.
When partially cooled, separate flesh from skin and add this to the heated clear beef soup
Season with pepper and paprika, add lime juice.
Smooth soup in a blender.
Reheat before serving, but do not boil.
Add 10ml of coconut cream to each serving and stir.

Breadfruit Salad
1 mature, firm breadfruit
1 or 2 large onions
100ml lemon juice
60ml salad oil
salt (?)
pepper (?)
10ml of sugar
chopped parsley

3 hard boiled eggs

Cut breadfruit in quarters leaving skin and centre.
Put in a large pot, cover with water, add a little salt and boil covered until tender.

When breadfruit is cooked, cool and then refrigerate.
Remove skin and centre, slice thinly and arrange neatly on serving platter.
Slice eggs and arrange on top. Cover with onion mixture.

breadfruit curry recipe???????????????

We Answered:

Varutharachu (breadfruit curry)

1 lb. Potato or kadachakka (bread fruit), cut into small cubes
Â½ tsp. chile powder
Â¼ tsp. turmeric powder
2 tsp. coriander powder
1 tsp. garam masala
3 oz. coconut milk (optional)
1/3 onion, cut into small pieces
2 green chile (optional), cut long
oil, salt, mustard seeds
Curry leaves (optional)

Heat oil, fry mustard seeds, add onion, green chile & curry leaves, stir until it turns light brown. Then add salt, all the powders and masala, stir until it turns brown, then add coconut milk and veg., stir well, cover it and cook until well cooked. (If not adding coconut milk, add a cup of water instead). It is ready to serve! (In fact, it should be made by roasting coconut and all the spices, and blending them very nicely, but it is not easy to do it here. So I made up this version.) (You can cook kadala too the same way. For kadala, you can use just the garam masala and chile powder only. Either way, it tastes good.)

What is the best way to eat a breadfruit?

We Answered:

You can also peel, chop into chunks and put in a stew or where potatoes are used. Peel, slice thin and fry in oil, salt to taste. Eat like a french fry. Bake in its peel then open and dip in soyu, salt and chicken drippings. (Not too healthy, but good!) Bake in peel, then peel breadfruit, chop into chunks, add coconut milk, sugar, mash slightly. Eat hot or cold. Can also add grated coconut to this one.
You can tell when ripe mostly by watching the fruit mature on the tree. You will be able to tell. Over ripe is soft and strong smelling. The outside of the fruit will have beads of white sap when nearing ripe. This all depends on the type of breadfruit you have growing.
Hope this helped you out a bit.. Happy eating!!
