After going to Delhi this delicacy was rare but last year due to some project work I travelled down to Goa, there is north goa got the chance to taste it again? After moving down to Bangalore I got to know Vijay Pai in my new office and he is passionate about food like me, so I told him that I love kokum juice and I would actually like to see the fruit, so this another pawam soul got Kokum fruit for me
