Here is an easy way to make curry out of jackfruit seeds

Loved mostly by children for it's sweet, meaty yellow or red pods, Fene is a backstreet fruit that most Ugandans wouldn't be caught serving to a serious visitor, which is why it is the only fruit that won't be included in a man's gifts when he goes to be introduced to the parents of his fiancée. In that way, it is a bit despised for God knows what.
