#ManillaTamarind is neither from Manilla nor is tamarind, but its named that way

This year season has started and here's a snap of it from our farm in #Virudhunagar

In Tamil it's கொடிக்காய்ப்புளி; Would love to hear it's name from other languages! Image
As a kid I used to play with the seeds (serves as coins/pieces in many games)

Tamil name in Latin script: Kodikkaipuli
Literal Translation: Creeper fruit(unripe) Tamarind

Colloquially Kodikkai, Kodukka, Kodikka, kodikkapazham etc. have been used.
I should make a map out of the replies 😍
