Kadachakka(Breadfruit) Masala Curry

In Kerala, most of the houses in rural area would have kadachakka/breadfruit tree.The name breadfruit is derived from the texture of the cooked fruit which has potato like flavour or similar to fresh baked bread.
My mother used to make kadachakka/breadfruit masala curry which used to taste like heaven.
When I found this kadachakka/breadfruit in the supermarket, I bought it and immediately called up my mother for its recipe. And now its for you people to try it out.
