Steam the Jackfruit Seeds: Begin by thoroughly steaming the jackfruit seeds until they are tender. Once cooked, remove the outer skin and set the seeds aside in a bowl for later use.

Add Mustard Seeds: Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter for about 10 to 15 seconds, releasing their aromatic flavor.

Sauté the Onion: Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté until they become slightly soft and translucent. This will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
