Velaga pandu, we buy this variety for vinayaka chavithi,to tie fruits for palavelli..i stored  this one after removing the palavelli, and vinayaka nimmajanam,i made a chutney with this ..its a sour and very tasty one.
Velagapandu gujju 1 cup
Bring a ripened wood apple and after
breaking it take off the paste from it. 
Place a pan on the stove and add 2 tbsp oil to it,after it is heated add the wood apple paste in it and fry it with a lid covered for 5 min in a low flame.
