Breadfruits are thinly sliced & are beautifully coated with a bright red, spicy, rice batter. They are then delicately deep-fried to make the most amazing fritters on this planet. These breadfruit fritters are spicy, creamy, soft & do melt in your mouth. Breadfruit is used a lot in Konkani cuisine. It is called as Jeev Kadgi in Konkani. We prepare yummy Phodi's of breadfruits called as Jeev Kadgi Phodi. Phodi's mean shallow fried or deep-fried veggies in Konkani. Jeev Kadgi Phodi is prepared mainly in two ways - by deep frying and by shallow frying
