How to cook Peka’s fruit salad
Peka
(also known as many names, such as broken bones, Oroxylum Indicum, Tree of
Damokles, or Midnight horror) is one of beneficial plants. It’s said that people
use it for treating different diseases. In Thailand, its fruits (commonly
called Lin mai, Lin fa, or Paka) are used to cook food. Though there are many
ways to cook them, I recommend you to make them as salad. Let’s see how to cook
