My Kitchen Gallery - Albakara


I am not sure about the spelling but going by the pronunciation I know.
Albakara/Albukara is a dry fruit that is dark brownish in color and is about the size of a walnut / almond fruit. It has a soft, moist, edible flesh with a sweet, distinctive flavor. The fruit encompasses an almond colored seed that is oval shaped, smaller than an almond and is not edible.
I get my supply of albakara fruit from India. As far as I know, they are available in Andhra and even around Bangalore but not a familiar one to many. It is usually sold by vendors who specialize in selling spices.
Usually eaten when one is convalescent. It is said to bring back ruchi to taste buds / palate after an illness. Though it can be eaten anytime, I reserve it for those occasions when anyone of us seem to have lost appetite, since I bring it in small quantities from India.
Pack them in a moisture free bag / box and store them in a refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
