Chakkai kottai podimas or Jackfruit seeds dry sabzi is my favourite recipes out of all the recipes made with jackfruit seeds. Whenever we buy jackfruit, we donot discard the seeds. We make recipes out of it. We can make a normal sabzi called chakkai kottai thoran where the seeds are not grind after cooking. We can add it to molagootal  or can make this podimas. For the podimas, we cook the jackfruit seeds and then grind it. Hence we call it as podimas. This has a slight sweetness and I love it. It goes well with sambar saadham, mor kootan or any South Indian gravy.
