month.The vendors bring them to the city on bicycles and motor bikes and sell them on roadside. Every palm fruit contains three portions and the vendors use knife or sickle to remove them from the shell of the fruit and sells them six pieces for Rs 10.

The ripen 'Tati Munjelu' becomes as 'Tatipallu' later and the paste of Tatipallu made into as tasty jell Tatichapa. The palm fruit is available during summer season only.
