Overview
An authentic Kerala recipe made with jackfruit seeds. Since we get plenty of Jackfruit in Kerala there are lot of dishes made with its seeds. Raw sour mangoes and fresh coconut milk balances the flavor of this dish. Since I saw this frozen jackfruit seeds at the Indian store I had to make this dish. This dish goes well with plain rice.
