Kathal Ke Beej Ki Subzi /Jackfruit Seed Stir fry

Jackfruit seeds delicately stir fried in a hot spicy sauce.

A few days ago my daughter's friend went to India on a holiday, and while returning from there he brought a jackfruit for us. But unfortunately it was a ripe and sweet jackfruit and could not be used for cooking, so with a heavy heart, I had to trash it. But since he brought it with so much love, I thought of trying to use at least some part of it. So I took out all the seeds and thought of making something out of them, so I tried to make a stir fry from the boiled seeds and it turned out to be pretty delicious!
