Overview
I got fresh jack fruit from an Indian store which was a very special treat to get in U.S. I saved the seeds and enjoyed making this special Jack fruit seed stir fry. This was a very special treat to have  after a long time. The sweet taste of fresh jack fruit mixed with the garlic and red pepper flakes made this dish very unique and delicious. A very simple and easy dish to make with very few ingredients.
