Instead of boiling, roast the jackfruit seeds over an open flame or in hot embers until the outer skin is charred. Peel and mash for a deep, smoky aroma.
Add 2-3 cloves of finely minced raw garlic along with the onions for a sharper, more pungent flavor profile.
Squeeze half a lime or a teaspoon of lemon juice into the mash just before serving to add a fresh, tangy note that cuts through the richness.
Incorporate a tablespoon of chopped fresh mint leaves along with the coriander for a different layer of freshness.
