Plum in Malayalam
Kerala has no true plum, so these entries name the hog plum instead: the fruit is അമ്പഴങ്ങ (ambazhanga) and the tree അമ്പഴം (ambazham). It is sour and green, used in curries and pickles rather than eaten like a plum. Take them as the nearest local fruit, not an exact match.
Most common translation
