Kadachakka Mezhukkupuratti (Breadfruit Stir fry)

Kadachakka Mezhukkupuratti (Breadfruit Stir fry)

Breadfruit (Kadachakka) is a tropical fruit found abundantly in Kerala. It looks similar to a very small jackfruit. The unripe fruit is often used in curries and stir-fries. Once cooked, the flesh tastes similar to that of Potato. It is also known as Sheema Chakka. I have tasted Varutharacha Kadachakka Curry several years ago but don't remember eating it in any other form. When we visited Kerala this summer, we were able to get a taste of a simple stir fry made using unripe Breadfruit or Kadachakka. It tastes delicious with Rice and is so easy to prepare.

This summer, we were blessed to visit our home town in Kerala and we enjoyed wonderful dishes made by our loving mothers and aunts. Here is the recipe for Chakka Vevichathu or Chakka Puzhukku - Raw Jackfruit cooked with coconut. This is a main dish and is usually served with Fish or a Meat-based curry. My favorite side dish with Chakka Vevichathu is any spicy Chicken curry like this one. The leftovers can be reheated by either steaming in a Steamer (Appa Chembu) or my preferred way is to ... continue reading...
