Fried jackfruit seeds are suitable for serving as a snack or an accompaniment to a rice meal. If you fry this seed as it is it will be hard and very difficult to eat. I have made this fry soft by first boiling the seed and then frying it. When you eat jackfruit you can save the seeds to make this fry. It is really wonderful and great friend of children.

I bought the seeds from the market.
