Cheema Chakka Poriyal Recipe - Bread Fruit Poriyal Recipe

share this

I love cheema chakka or breadfruit, it is one of my favourite veggie. Amma makes a fantastic masala curry using that and so far i haven’t shared any recipe using that in my blog. So few days back when i saw this veggie in my super mart i picked one and make two recipes using that. This is the first one and will share amma’s recipe next.

This is breafruit season and i am seeing this in abundance. It is very tasty, if you have never tasted it so far and find this in your veggie shop, pick one for sure..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
