Yasmeen, I don’t think we could get them here, dear. But who knows Americans always wants their best from all over the world. We could always hope, possibly in big city, google search….could fetch them.

Thanks Gita.

Thanks Chandani, yeha me too like spicy and tangy together. Simply unbeatable, right.

Madhuram, welcome to my blog. I did’nt spot them in Chennai as well. My aunt brought from Kerala…it grows widely in western ghats. I think we could find them in big markets, during season…at Chennai as well. Only thing is to enquire the vendors.

Dear Bicks, What we use is ‘dry nutmeg’ here….which could be only grated and treated as spice 7 garnish. This one is ‘Raw Nutmeg’ dear….fresh from the forest. So the pod is easy to slice. These are found in wet-rain forest areas/ hilly places at western ghats. Hope these info help u to locate fresh ones.
