@ Anonymous,

In my blog I have not mentioned that whatever I prepare is available in US. This was prepared recently when I visited India.
I haven't seen Kaanakalyate in US markets. So how can I tell where you would get it in US?

It's grown in California.Long time ago I found a website, California rare fruit grower's.They had listed it as curry fruit and subsequently they seem to have withdrawn it.i was also under the impression that it is native to our place.These days people don't know what it is except for people like you and me.Recently I bought 2kgs as the vendor didn't know what to do with it here in Vittal.
