Coming with popular summer fruit of South, which is with tender flesh and sweet water inside ie TAATI MUNJALU. Also called as Toddy Palm fruit, these fruits appear in summer season just before mango season. My mother used to prepare many dishes with a combination of taati munjalu. Very Very tasty.
This brought back my memories to childhood days in my mothers house. My father brought these taati munjalu everyday. We children used to enjoy a lot with the wonderful dishes my mother made with taati munjalu. Summer season is always fun with holidays, guests, trips, taati munjalu and mangoes.
They look like mini coconuts. In our market, tati munjala vender sells these by cutting the brown top of taatikaya gently and remove 3 taati munjalu out of taatikaya when ever we want. Each fruit typically has 3 tati munjalu.
Today I am blogging the dish out of taati munjalu which I like from my mothers kitchen.
OK Let us go to prepare.
Ingredients
- Tati munjalu 2 dozens
- Milk 1/2 ltr
- Almonds 10 to 12
- Sugar 6 to 8 tbsp
- Cardamom powder 1/2 tbsp
- Soak almond for 6 hours.
- Boil milk and let it cool.
- Wash taati munjalu gently and peel the skin of taati munjalu with your hand.
- Cut taati munjalu 2 or 4 pieces and keep aside.
- Paste soaked almond and sugar into a smooth paste.
- Mix this paste into cooled milk. Mix well. It should now become little thick.
- Add tati munjalu pieces and cardamom powder in milk.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours.
Serve this yummy summer cooler in afternoon time.
My Notes
Always make sure to buy the tender fruit . Over ripe fruit will be hard to digest.
When you slice them, don't waste the sweet liquid inside them.
You can mix these taati munjala pieces in any flavored ice cream, it tastes Divine.
You can add these pieces in fresh mango juice/pulp also tastes good. One can add little sugar depends on the sweetness of mango.
