Kadachakka is malayalam for breadfruit
Oolarthiathu is a style of preparation and translates to sauteed or panfried. It differs from other panfried preparations from Kerala like mezhukkupurattiathu or thoren in that meat is the main ingredient and therefore heavily spiced (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom,...). Certain vegetables taste delicious with this treatment, kadachakka (breadfruit), koorka (chinese potato) and chena (elephant yam).
