1. Prepare the breadfruit: Peel and cut the breadfruit into medium-sized slices (like wedges or chips).
2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Apply this spice mix to the breadfruit slices and let them marinate for 10–15 minutes.
3. Coat with rava: Take rava in a plate. Coat both sides of each marinated breadfruit slice evenly.
4. Shallow fry: Heat oil in a flat pan or tawa. Place the rava-coated breadfruit slices and fry on medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides.
5. Serve: Serve hot as a side dish with Goan rice and curry.
