👩‍🍳 How to make Tendu Fruit Breakfast

Select fully ripe tendu fruits — they should be orange to brown, completely soft to touch.
Eat fresh, scooping out sweet orange pulp. A pinch of salt enhances sweetness.

📖 Cultural notes

Tendu fruit is the forest breakfast of MP's tribal belt (Bastar, Mandla, Seoni) — the same tendu leaves are used for bidis (thin cigarettes), but the fruit itself is sweet, nutritious, and freely available from the forest. ---
