Rest and Serve
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.

Absolutely. You can boil the jackfruit seeds and potato in a regular pot on the stovetop. It will take longer, about 30-40 minutes, or until the seeds are very tender.
You can get them from fresh, ripe jackfruit. Many Asian or Indian grocery stores also sell them separately, either fresh or dried, when in season.
It's best eaten fresh as the raw onions lose their crunch. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavor of the mustard oil will become more pronounced.
