Roasted Jackfruit Seeds
After having cooked with ripe jackfruit and green jackfruit, the next obvious thing to do was to roast the jackfruit seeds. Typically, the seeds are roasted in a charcoal grill called kumutti (I tried searching for a picture of this, but surprised to find none). The charcoal imparts that signature smoky flavour to the seeds. Juggling those hot seeds right off the grill and eating them with cousins is fun.
Since I don’t have the privilege of having my own charcoal grill, I sought after the next best method, cast iron pan. The continuous and consistent heat from these pans aids in the uniform roasting of the seeds. When they are roasted right, the seeds pop-out their skin, bringing out their creamy inside.
