Kada Chakka Koottu

We have the kadachakka tree  in our house and we make different dishes with this.This kadachakka is round in shape and not big like jack fruit. Next time when I go to Kerala or Mumbai take a snap and add to my recipe.When it is cooked very soft and tender. I searched in Google and got the English name for kadachakka is breadfruit.We can make kadachakka thovaran, koottu, eriseri and use even in sambar and thenga aracha kozhambu.My favorites are Kadachakka koottu and eriseri.
