What do you do with jackfruit seeds? Do you discard them after eating the fruit? Jackfruit seeds are extremely good for health and you can make a delicious curry with it. I’m sharing my grandma recipe today to make Kongunadu Palakottai Kurma Curry.

I grew up watching my mother and grandma cook dishes using jackfruit. We would wait for the jackfruit season so that we can make chakka pradhaman, chakka paniyaram etc.. Nothing will be wasted in my house including the seeds. We call jackfruit seeds as palakottai in Tamil. I’m sharing a curry recipe today which I learnt from my grandma. Kongunadu Palakottai Kurma Curry is made using jackfruit seeds which is cooked in tangy coconut gravy.. Do try it out this jackfruit season and share your feedback..
