Are you a fan of custard apples? If you are, then you must truly enjoy the fruit and may have already picked it up off fruit carts this winter. Surely, the fruit, which is currently in season may be eaten by people but all of us can agree that many may say otherwise as it may not always be their first choice. This is mostly because they are tedious to eat as cleaning them itself is time consuming.
The winter season brings with it a variety of vegetables and fruits – some of which are really popular and steal the show every year. However, others like custard apples often remain lesser favourites to savour. However, chefs believe a lot can be done with them, especially if you love cooking and want to experiment with them in your dishes. The green and black-marked globular fruit add a different kind of sweetness to your dishes, say Mumbai chefs. Interestingly, they can not only be used in desserts but also in savoury dishes, the chefs add.
