Break open the hard shell of wood apple using a stone or any hard object as we break coconut . Scoop the flesh of the fruit using a spoon. Transfer to a bowl.

Add around 1 cup water and squeeze the fruit nicely .. just like we do for tamarind . Extract the juice .

Strain the juice. Using a spoon mix, tap and strain to seperate the fruit residue ( fiboury pulp and seeds ) . Transfer the residue again to a bowl , add 1 cup water and squesse to extract some more fruit content . Strain the juice. Repeat this step 2-3 times to extract maximum juice and fruit content.

Discard the residue after extracting almost full juice .

Now to wood apple juice, add jaggery and pepper powder, mix it well. Let the jaggery dissolve

Lastly add cardamom powder .. mix .

Enjoy belada hannina panaka as such or refrigerate and relish it chilled .
