Add mustard seeds and fry until they start to pop.

Stir in chopped onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add green chilies and curry leaves; cook for another minute.

Mix in turmeric powder and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

Add the chopped jackfruit and stir well to coat with spices.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.

Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until jackfruit is tender.

Season with salt and lime juice to taste.

Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
