firstly we need to boil the jackfruit seeds to prepare kathal ke beej ki sabzi.
put the seeds in cooker and add 1 cup water.
turn on the gas.
put the lid and cook the seeds till 1 whistle goes off and 2 minutes are over.
the whistle has started to blow so we should lower the flame and
allow seeds to boil for another 2-3 minutes then turn off the gas.
after the whistle blew we boiled the jackfruit seeds for 3 minutes more.
now turn off the gas and let the seeds boil till all of the cooker's pressure is released.
as the pressure escapes completely we will open the cooker,take out the seeds and peel them.
all of the pressure is released so we will now remove the seeds from it.
the seeds are boiled and soft.
take them out quickly from hot water so that they cool fast.
the seeds are cool so let us peel them with help of a knife.

allow the spices to boil on a low flame for 2 minutes.
the spices are done frying and the oil has also surfaced.
so let us put the jackfruit seeds in the pan.
fry the seeds for 2-3 minutes as they get cooked.
here we have used anchur powder to cook the jackfruit seeds but we can also make tomato paste and use it instead.
just pour oil,if you prefer onions then finely chop them.
add heeng,jeera then fry onions.
grind tomato,ginger and green chilly to make a paste.
add this paste followed by turmeric powder,coriander powder and fry the spices till oil surfaces.
