    Jackfruit seed curry is one of my dad's favorite dishes during the jackfruit season. This recipe was given to my mom by my granny. The jackfruit seeds are separated from ripe jackfruit bulbs and sun-dried so that they can be used throughout the year as and when required in recipes.

    These dried jackfruit seeds are peeled or crushed in a mortar and pestle for easy peel. The jackfruit seeds are then pressure cooked. The pressure-cooked jackfruit seeds are very creamy in texture and have a sweet and earthy flavor. The seeds can be eaten at this stage or used in the gravy of your choice.

    You can even grill or roast the jackfruit seeds; it tastes awesome and can be very addictive. Try it out.

    We eat this bikanda gashi or sagle with boiled rice and jackfruit papad (gharai happolu). The papad is crushed in the gravy and enjoyed similar to kori rotti —a simple yet satisfying village-style vegetarian meal.
