Two minutes with Google shows 'kadrai' is Lithuanian and may be interpreted as 'frame' or as 'group'. There may be other interpretations but I stopped there.
As @Borek suggested, the video seems to refer to the pan the rice is initially fried in. It looks much like a Chinese Wok, or bowl shaped frying pan. (that should be a rather common kitchen "ingredient."

In the video, I think it is the white powder added to the rice. A different technique of puffing rice is to add rice to hot sand. The "kadrai" in the video might be an inorganic powder that substitutes for sand.

If you watched the movie, the text at the top of the movie screen says "Puffed Rice Without Oil and Sand".
The text overlays at 4:13 and 4:22 refer to "SALT."

Yes, I agree. The "kadrai" is the pan and the white powder is salt.
