Kadachakka Chemeen Varutharachathe(Bread Fruit and Prawns)

"Smile is a curve which makes other curves straight" So with that sweet smile again I am coming back to this beautiful world of experts.

Months back I posted this recipe and due to some technical problems, I removed that from my blog.
Here again!


There is a big Bread fruit tree in my house(Kerala) and who ever see this would say "those who have Kadaplave(Bread fruit tree) in their compound will always in debt" .My mother always been scared about that.But my dad is totally different and he never support on such superstition.He loves that tree as it bears lot of good quality breadfruits every year and we used to give that to all our neighbours and relatives ,some times we sell that too.It's really tasty and my mother will make variety of dishes with that.
Here in UAE its very difficult to find fresh bread fruits. So definetly this one is also not fresh!
This varutharacha dish is also one type of theeyal ,but in this curry we never put tamarind.Its mild aroma and delicious taste is world renowed.
