A long time ago, almost 2 years back, I quizzed you on a mystery vegetable.After that I did solve a lot of mysteries on vegetables, fruits, and ingredients-what not! But somehow they got missed before I put them on the blog. That mystery is yet to be solved and I will do that later…
Meanwhile, I have another one for you….
Can you guess this fruit?
This is a bright red and tangy fruit and…… I won’t give you any more clues……
And before I forget,let me tell you one more thing…No, its not a clue! What I wanted to tell you is to leave a comment telling me the name – English name / Botanical name / Regional name [please mention the language/ state] and if you know a recipe with this mystery ingredient let me know about that too…
Ok, so while you are busy solving this mystery, I am off to prepare a dish with it and be back sometime next week to unveil the name….
Updated : Mystery Unveiled here….
Keep guessing till then…..
I am in your space after sometime now.. Love the changes you have made to your space… 🙂
My guess is.. it is cashew apple???
water apple
Rose apple!
wow! you got me on that one!! cant wait to find out what it is!
PJ, this is called chambakka in Malayalam…..rose apple/water rose apple in English. I love eating it as is, but it makes a delicious pickle too.
These are love apples called as 'jaam' in konkani/ marathi. They come in 2 colours light green, red and pink shaded. They grow on trees and the tree bares beautiful rani colour flowers. Unfortunately I always forget to get a pic of these. Will check tomorrow if its is still flowering will mail you the picture.
It is water apple
