This is the breadfruit season. During the July-August season, some specific vegetables and fruits such as Durian, Rambutan, Mangosteen, Gaduguda, (Lanzone) and Donga (sour apples) are in plenty in Sri Lanka. But all these fruits are heaty fruits. Some people do not eat them a lot because of this reason. Our ancestors knew that the heat effect would be reduced when breadfruit was cooked or eaten with coconut milk or freshly grated coconuts. So they indulged in eating lots of breadfruit for its season.

When breadfruit becomes mature, they start to ripen within one or two days. So I plucked some mature breadfruits in plenty this time. In a breadfruit tree that has grown on its own in the ancestral house garden, there were branches laden with breadfruits. Since it was a newly rooted breadfruit tree, the tree was laden with breadfruits, which I plucked in the evening.

For the next day's lunch, I prepared to cook a breadfruit curry. Since the breadfruits were fresh, I decided to ask my brother to make his special spicy breadfruit peel fry, as he is very skilled at making it. With that in mind, I cut the breadfruit skin into thicker pieces. My brother creates this delicious fry by frying the breadfruit peels with ghee and adding dried shrimps. As a complement to that, I also made fish red curry, carrot sambal, and a green mallum (a type of mixed green stir-fry). To complete the lunch menu, it's essential to cook the breadfruit curry with thick coconut milk to enhance its flavour. I added a handful of purple bird's eye chillies and some spinach leaves to enhance the deliciousness of the breadfruit curry. When the lunch table is filled with a diverse array of delicious dishes, it means that each of those dishes is filled with the necessary nutrients for our bodies, while at the same time filling our minds with happiness. My ultimate joy every day is also to bring happiness to my grandmother's and brother's minds as well.
