Good morning to all my dear Hive friends,

There is something uniquely satisfying about combining traditional village flavors with comforting spices—especially when breadfruit takes center stage. Known for its soft, starchy texture and ability to absorb rich spices, breadfruit becomes the perfect base for a heartwarming blend.

This dish transforms the earthy taste of jackfruit and the warmth of the spices into a fragrant, flavorful experience. This breadfruit mallum is incredibly tasty and can be served as an accompaniment to rice or bread.

Let’s take a look at how to prepare this rustic and flavorful recipe!

Now take another pan and add about two tablespoons of coconut oil, allowing it to heat until it becomes slightly reddish. Once the oil is heated, add chopped garlic, salt, curry leaves, cinnamon, pieces of dried chili, and the prepared coconut mixture. Stir-fry everything well.
