Hi
Never Come across Culinary use of kodukkapuli in Tamilnadu other than direct consumption of the spongy pinkish white pulp covering the seeds. Once in Malaysia, while traveling, I come across "petai beans Sambal" (Smelly bean Sambal). The taste was very good and after I swallowed the bean The flavor reminded me the same flavor of the spongy pulp in Ripe Kodukkapuli which we used to enjoy when we were children. Try Wikipedia with Petai beans

Hi, I have just an hour ago come down from a 17 ft ladder after picking these pods in our field near to Hampi in Karnataka. I checked on the internet and they are also called ‘Jungle Jalebi’ among other things. They are sweetish when ripe and I thought some had a hint of Raspberry when almost ripe. Latin botanical name is pithecellobium dulce if you want to research it. Seems the leaves may hold a cure for tuberculosis. Rangit, Hampi.

hi malar,
this is a fruit know as "gora's amli" rather pronounced as gora samli all over gujarat. till this date we find this fruit on streets of gujarat. i had the priviledge of enjoying this during my last vacation to my hometown baroda (100 kms frm ahmedabad), ie in dec 2009. i guess the name gorasamli came frm the word bilayati imli, as gora means vilayati and amli means imli.
hope this answers your quest.
