Starfruit is really colourful with excellent shape and texture.
Once we had this type of tropical fruit while visiting elephanta caves in bombay as a vacation with our family.Dad bought from the vendor who was infront of caves which is a cut fruit was green in colour dusted with salt and red chilli powder on it.I didnt remember the name of the fruit exactly.But it was tangy,sour,little bit sweet one.Loved the taste but never found that fruit later in A.P. After coming to US ,I found the same friut which i was looking for since my schooldays.Googled about that and came to know it is called carambola/starfruit.
