 We call it ‘Chipttam’

 When matured or ripped, these are edible and I ate plenty.
 Edible part inside is round shape, about  the size of Green Peas
 They grow well in the fields. You don’t to plant or grow them they grow
 just like
  that e.g. villages, bushes, fields etc
 They may grow around the same place year after year.

 RESPONSE: I think it is the same thing we get here in the shops called Cape
 Gooseberrys. I think when I was very young my first trip to Goa, I had eaten
 it. It was called chitpuram?

 RESPONSE: Yeah, that's it - did a deliberate mis-spelling for you and
Alfred to correct!

Here is an image of what we get in London and perhaps also in Stocholm.

I came across a similar fruit in the supermarket but orange in colour
when ripe. It belongs to the genus Physalis and commercially also know
by the same name but nowhere near our chipttam (in salcette, we call
them chiputtan) where taste is concerned.

This is a roadside bush plant and don’t know if it is grown commercially.
However, ripped ones sometimes  available for sale in small quantities at 
market with those ladies who sell  home grown seasonal fruits etc.
 
When ripped, it become yellowish
 
When we were kids, we used the raw ones to blow air by mouth and then 
strike/break it on our foreheads so as to give a ‘ttok’ or ‘blop’ sound.

I think some parts of Goa call it ‘chirputtam’
 
Somewhere at vegetable markets, I saw  giant size chipttam but never tasted nor 
I know if they are chipptam but they look like ones.
