Boil 2 cups of water in a vessel and add the breadfruit to it. Close with a lid and cook on medium flame till they are soft and tender. Heat oil in a pan and saute the onions, garlic and curry leaves. Add the tomatoes and fry till oil separates. Now add all the spice powders and saute till aroma comes out.
