Chakkakkuru ulli thoran - Jackfruit seeds & shallots thoran

I don't like to eat ripe jackfruit, mainly because of it's smell. I don't even like to sit near someone who eats it because of that strong smell. But raw jackfruit dishes are very tasty. For example chakka puzhukku which is a favourite of most malayalis.But I like the jack fruit seed dishes more. My mother simply fries it adding salt and chilly powder.
