In the Thar Desert when ‘Ker’ (Capparis Decidua) flowers profusely, people of Bhil and Garasia tribes take drought to be imminent. But the harbinger of drought is also a saviour of sorts. Homemakers of Rajasthan and leading companies pick its flower, buds and unripe fruits to make aachar. People generally prefer a combination of Mango, Ker and Goonda(Cordia Mixa) fruits made in sesame or mustard oil. Common spices and fenugreek are added to make aachar more appetising ; some marwaris even put fennel, ginger and split chickpea.
The Ker is also a favourite vegetable of many Rajasthanis and can be cooked in 10 minutes. The ripe Ker fruit is also called as dhalu ; its sap has a distinct sweet taste.

Many traditional healers prescribe Ker fruits for cardiac diseases. The extract of immature fruits can be used to cure trachoma. The plant is an ingredient to popular tonic Liv – 52.
