Breadfruit curry is a great vegetarian option. This dish is enjoyed all over the world, from Sri Lanka, where it’s called del, to Fiji and Jamacia. This is a very basic recipe with ingredients you should be able to find anywhere.
Heat the oil in a saucepan or stockpot using medium-high heat.
Add garlic, ginger, onion, and pepper to oil and let cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the breadfruit and let it cook for a few minutes, stirring until most of the pieces are browned.
Pour in coconut milk, spices, and water. Bring to a boil.
Turn the heat down, cover, and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the breadfruit is soft when poked with a fork. It should feel like a cooked potato. If your sauce gets too thick, add more water and stir.
Serve with chapati or rice.
