As I mentioned in my earlier breadfruit post, my mother tried out a couple of breadfruit dishes recently. I enjoyed the breadfruit curry but I enjoyed more the breadfruit fries she made. So, this weekend, I’d like to share my mother’s recipe for breadfruit fries and bring it to Angie‘s Fiesta Friday #101, co-hosted by Jhuls and Mr.Fitz.
I was listening to some Sri Lankan music this week and the song I am sharing today is from the recently released movie Ho Gaana Pokuna (translation: The Singing Pond), directed by Indika Ferdinando and lyrics by Kusumsiri Liyanaarachchi. The film won the Teacher’s Choice Prize in the Chicago international children’s film festival.
Have a lovely weekend!

A Taste of Sri Lankan cuisine 
This is a new one for me, but it sounds easy enough. Thanks also for bringing some music to the party – very pretty.
Thanks, Hilda. Hope the year has started out well for you!
What does breadfruit taste like?
Hmm… how do I describe the taste of breadfruit? It has a unique taste that I can’t say it tastes like yam or potatoes but perhaps it is closer to that. In some countries, boiled breadfruit is used instead of rice or potatoes and eaten with a stew.
Interesting, thank you 🙂
I never heard this kind of treat – it sounds awesome. Thank you for sharing at this week’s FF and for bringing in some song with you. I hope you are enjoying your time and have a lovely weekend! 🙂
Thank you, Jhuls, and for co-hosting FF#101!
I’ve never tried breadfruit, compleately new thing for me!
Hope you get to try it out sometime, Heidie.
I have never tasted breadfruit. This looks so interesting and your spices sounds so good 🙂
Thank you, Petra. Hope you get to try it out sometime. The breadfruitcurry is also good.
Breadfruit sounds very interesting. I have to look around for it as you have me intrigued. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hope you get to try out breadfruit sometime. Somewhat similar to jackfruit, if you have tried that but breadfruit is only cooked unlike jackfruit where the ripened ones can be eaten as a fruit.
I’ve not heard of breadfruit, nor am I sure we can get it but sounds tasty seasoning.
I just looked up breadfruit – from the pic it seems like a fruit we get in Kerala too. It is like jackfruit but we make vegetable savory dishes from it. I do know the taste of it and so these fries look great!
Ah, yes, Indu… breadfruit and jackfruit are somewhat similar, given that they are both considered to be from the mulberry and fig family.
yes we call it kadachakka in kerala and my mom used to make sabzi and also a curry with shrimp 🙂 tasty ! Next time i see this in the asian store I will buy and try your recipe too!
have never tried breadfruit.. this inspires me! thanks for sharing at fiesta friday 101
Thank you 🙂
Hi, Ahila! Long time no see, how have you been?!
Hi Angie! Yes, indeed… long time, no see but at least I made it back to the FF#101 🙂 I am good, thank you. I had gone back to university during the past year so didn’t have much energy left for my blog. Hope the new year has started out well for you and your family!
