👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the breadfruit: Peel, core, and cut the breadfruit into 1-inch cubes. If the breadfruit is very starchy, you can parboil it for about 5-7 minutes in salted water to soften it slightly before proceeding.
2
Sauté aromatics: Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Toast spices: Add the curry powder and turmeric to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast and release their aroma.
5
Combine with breadfruit: Add the cubed breadfruit to the pot and stir to coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
6
Simmer the curry: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadfruit is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7
Season and serve: Season the curry with salt to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot, ideally with steamed rice or quinoa.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Choose a ripe but firm breadfruit for the best texture. Overripe breadfruit can become too mushy.
✓If the curry seems too thick, add a little more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
✓This curry can be made ahead of time and reheated; the flavors often meld and improve overnight.
