Thanks for linking this. I've had this fruit before, fond memories of a childhood visit to Mumbai in early 80s. It's known by the Marathi speakers as "targolay". Its taste can be roughly described as a mix between a slimey coconut flesh with a distinctive sweetness found maybe in litchi fruit, but not as intensely sweet. Some rumour that it is intoxicating after a certain quantity - not sure about this. But it's a taste sensation unlike anything I've ever experienced since. Recent visit to Mumbai (2016) in Dec yielded nothing as explained by a dismissive street hawker: "tadgolay won't be found in winter". Much disappointed!
