Jackfruit Seed Curry is a comforting South Indian-style stir-fry that turns humble jackfruit seeds into a flavorful side. The seeds are halved, peeled, and boiled until tender, then tossed into a sizzling tempering of popping mustard seeds, lightly browned urad dal, and a pinch of asafoetida. Soft, translucent onions and curry leaves build the base, while tomatoes cook down into a tangy mash. Finished with sambar powder, turmeric, and salt, everything is gently cooked together for a few minutes until the seeds soak up the spices—ready to serve hot as a hearty accompaniment to rice or roti.
Jackfruit seed curry is served with steamed rice as a side dish. Here is a recipe you can try!
