UNRAVEL THE SECRETS OF A LOCAL SEASONAL FRUIT - JAMUN OR NAVAL PAZHAM

Chef Saravanakumar presents this humble fruit with a twist

- 

Throughout childhood, we were all familiar with in bazaars. Especially during summer, we all consumed the Jamun fruit as a common snack, without being aware that it is a storehouse of unimaginable nutritional values.

Mostly in western desserts, there is a preference for a variety of berries for a visually appealing sweet dish.

When I try to make a fusion dessert for our TGR Feast, I chose this Jamun fruit in the first place from among all the fruits.

Jamun fruit, which is commonly known as Naval Pazham or Nagapazham in Tamil language, also goes by the names of Java Plum, Black Plum and Jambul. This precious seasonal fruit can be seen in the market only between June to August.
