Tender Coconut juice in South India and Coastal parts (link to the Hindi version of the recipe). Remember there are laws against tapping the sap of coconut trees. Sugarcane juice - It turns slightly brownish and sour as the sugar gets fermented to alcohol. From North India. Tetra pack juices can also make wonderful toddy wine. Steamed Rice which is a famous afternoon dish of Odissa. Mahua flowers from Central India. From mango, other fruits, and flowers as well.
