There is Tomato which is also known as fruit but we use that in dishes and in salad and in different chutneys and then there is Jack fruit too which can be used in cooking and is also a fruit.
What are the other fruits that can use in cooking or cook to prepare some snacks like I previously came to know that bananas can be used to cook too but personally I have never tried this experiment but will be excited to try it someday soon

Green mangoes can be used in cooking. Jack fruit is good especially if cooked in coconut oil with lots of ginger.

@hotsummer Just add it to the sweet and sour meat when you cook and all is good.

Tomatoes are technically fruits and not veggies.
I have eaten ripe guava curry that my grandmother made and it was yummy. We have few preparations of curry and dal using raw mangoes.

@Butterfingers Yes, we do when the raw mangoes are in season. And we totally forgot about raw bananas making curries, chips, and kofta. Also, we do use so many fruits in baking, if you consider that too as a part of cooking.

Are you just talking about cooking or baking too? I am not familiar with Jack fruit. I was thinking if baking is included too then oranges can be used to make a cake.

I see you have many answers. Just search what fruits you have available and decide what you want to try. They all make good pies and jellies
