There are two varieties of wood apple or Bel. Both have hard shell which must be cracked. one has yellowish pulp and it’s sweeter in taste and the other one has little whitish pulp and sour in taste. The later one is called wood apple or kodbel in Bengali. I made this lip smacking chutney with wood apple.
