The fruit has multiple names in Tamil - kodikappalli, kodukapalli and konapuliyangai. The Scientific or English name is unknown. That is if Google is to be believed. All I can find is an image of it.
Missing something is one. Not knowing the name of what you are missing is another.

Mama, scientific name is pithecolobium dulce (Courtesy - Dad)
english name - Manila Tamrind (I think so)
Thanks mama, That answers an unanswered question.
Now, I want to eat it. Any help is appreciated. Check with your dad too :-)
I was very surprised when my dad told the answer spontaneously. If it is common plant like rice, neem I would not have surprised as he is Agri professor, but it is a rarely spoken one but still he remembered the scientific name
I will give some when you come to CBE until then "Che Che Intha Pazham Pullikum"
that is why he is prof, isn't it ?
I thought only pregnant women would have sudden desire to eat something we normally wont think of going in search of. Is this 'post production' effect for new fathers?!?
Konapuliyangai - I have never heard this name. Other two I have heard.
Barani - I am surprised about your Dad's response. Great man...adhaan book ellam eludhi irukkar. nee enna pannina? 'Ma ma ma' eludhinadhoda sari.
Siva - Don't we have this thing in US?
No, you can't find them in US. It is not just this. There are a bunch of tropical fruits that we miss here.
Nungu/palm kernel, panam kizhangu/palm tuber, pala palam/jack fruit, nava palam/indian berry. Even good mangoes.
Oh, that mango thing is supporting your point :-) But the only post production effect I have seen is sleep deprivation :-)
Mr Bangs, Kalakitaru Po!
Konapuliyangai, I havent heard this before..
