Sugar Palm Fritters
Borassus flabellifer, commonly known as doub palm, Sugar palm, palmyra palm, tala or tal palm, toddy palm, lontar palm, wine palm, or ice apple, is a fan palm native to South Asia (especially in Bangladesh and South India) and Southeast Asia. Borassus flabellifer is a robust tree and can reach a height of 30 meters (98 ft). The trunk is grey, robust, and ringed with leaf scars; old leaves remain attached to the trunk for several years before falling cleanly. ''Taal er bora'' is a Bengali delicacy and the name itself explains the recipe. Here the word 'Taal' or 'Tal' means Sugar palm and 'Bora' means fritters. It is a sweet tasted deep-fried fritter prepared with a batter of palm pulp, all-purpose flour, rice flour, grated coconut, and sugar. Peeling the sugar palm and extracting the palm pulp from each kernel is the toughest job of the recipe. During the month of August and September, ripe sugar palm is available in West Bengal.
