1 sprig curry leaves
1inch piece pandan leaf/(rampa)

Till it is boiling, dry roast all the spices. Keep aside.

Also dry roast grated coconut together with raw rice until it turns golden brown. Be careful to prevent it from burning. Now Grind this toasted coconut & rice into a thin paste. Keep it aside.

Once jackfruit seeds are boiled well, simply break the skin of the seeds. But do not remove the skin. Keep it with the seeds without removing. Just break it. (You can simply smash on it with something heavy, traditionally; in Sri Lanka we use a coconut for this task :))
