Wood apple is rich in vital vitamins.They are widely used in ayurvedic medicines.Nowadays its very rare to get in local markets. I am an adherent lover of this dish. My atthai (dad's elder sister) had this tree in her backyard. I still remember those days whenever I go to her place she used to prepare this for me.The ripness of the wood apple mixed with jaggery and  her everlasting love gives a wonderful tatse.The health benefits of this wonder fruit is here 

INGREDIENTS :
