Jack Fruit Seed Fry

Hi Friends,
               Jack Fruit Seed Fry is a simple recipe. Usually we all eat the sweet jack fruits and throw away the seeds. We still do not know the health benefits of the Jack Fruit Seeds. They are highly protein rich.And not only that they are anti-cancer, anti- oxidant, anti-hypertensive and anti- ulcer. Why should we throw such a valuable food in the dust bin. We may either roast them in a tawa and consume it or we may add them in our food by way of preparing Jack Fruit Seed sambar or any other dish. Here I've tried a side dish out of Jack Fruit Seeds. It came out well. Do try and enjoy the benefits.
