History

According to Odia legends, the ou plant was only found in Paradise. The goddess Parvati brought it to earth along with the betel vine.

Variants and methods

As it is a sour fruit, it is cooked with jaggery or sugar. People who do not like sugar also prepare it with tangy mustard and garlic paste-based gravy, along with red chilli powder.
