An undiscovered treasure from the indigenous cuisines of Northeast India, Jackfruit Seed Curry elevates the underappreciated seed of the jackfruit to the status of a delectable curry ingredient. The seeds of the jackfruit are an excellent vegetarian substitute for meat due to their high protein, fibre, and vitamin content. This dish calls for the combination of in-season vegetables, wild herbs and Indian spices. The richness is enhanced by coconut milk, and delicate warmth is brought about by allspice and thyme, which are tributes to global influences. The end result is a curry that is rich in nutrients, fragrant, and earthy.
