Today in this post I’m going to share Jackfruit seeds sambar recipe. Nice blend of boiled Jackfruit seeds and cooking it along with masala powders gives a delightful taste.

Here is the Jackfruit seeds sambar recipe;

Ingredients:

Jackfruit Seeds – 10 – 15

Chilli Powder – 1 tablespoon

Sambar Powder – 2 tablespoon

Tamarind – half lemon sized

Mustard seeds – 1/2 tablespoon

Cumin seeds- 1/2 tablespoon

Turmeric – 1/2 tablespoon

Salt – As per the taste

Garlic – 2-3 cloves

Dry Red Chilli – 1

Curry leaves – 8-10

Grated Coconut – 2 tablespoon

Steps to prepare Jackfruit Seeds Sambar;

• Soak Tamarind in medium hot water. This makes it leave juice until we prepare the rest of the stuff.

• Keep Jackfruit seeds in pressure cook and whistle 5-6 times. They take more time to cook completely hence make sure they are well cooked. If you are using Instant Pot then set it on Pressure cook for 5 minutes.

• Once the pressure is released take the boiled seeds out and drain the water. The hard skin of the seeds will come out automatically if they are cooked perfectly.

• Remove the hard skin from all the seeds.

• Bled these seeds along with garlic, Dry red chili, and salt. Don’t add too much water while grinding. Add a little amount of water in intervals to finely blend the seeds.

• Take a vessel with depth to prepare sambar, add oil and keep it on medium heat.

• Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, turmeric, and dry red chilies.

• After 2-3 minutes, add the blended mixture and stir well.

• Now you can add water according to your preference. If you like the sambar in thin consistency then add more water.

• Add Chilli powder, sambar powder, Salt, turmeric juice and let it boil.

• Adding jaggery is optional.

• Check the taste and add more chili powder or salt if required.

• Keep it on medium heat for 8- 10 minutes.

• Once the Sambar starts boiling add grated Coconut. This is also optional.

• Turn it off immediately.

This sambar tastes heavenly along with hot rice. Nice topping of ghee can double the taste.
