Cheema Chakka Curry/Bread Fruit Gravy, Today I’m with another Flavourful South Indian Curry, The Taste is similar to non veg Curry, its a traditional kerala curry…
Cleaning the chakka is not a tedious work like Jackfruit… but have to clean it carefully.. fresh chukka may stick in hands while cleaning.. just use few drops of oil in your hands and clean them.. I like this breadfruit alot.. its my favorite here… mom simply cook this with salt and temper with mustard,urad dhal, red chillie and curry leaves, serve this for our teatime.. those days are memorable… this is a kerala cusiness, cooked with roasted coconuts, yummy curry Goes well with any poriyal or thoran with Steamed rice.. lets see the recipe first..
