The process of wrinkling is called GILE  and the fruit is called Gilephal (
in Bangali script it is ...*গীলেফল * and in Hindi script you read it as
*गीलेफल*  )


but next time i go to that bazaar i will definitely ask and write it down
if there is any colloquial botanical name.

lI'll et you know

unless *Tapasda* knows it
just added him in the address


Bapalal Vaidya in his Nighantu Adarsh book mentions an elephant creeeper
and describes what seems to be this vine . h e says its name
i*n bengal is GILA * and in *Assam *: *GIla-leva *. But spells it as Entada
phaseoloides Merrill  syn. of E. Scandens. ( page 355, in its Purvardha
volume). He says it grows in Assam, Himalayas and Andaman islands.

I found these two last names listed as synonyms
<http://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/32184> in this site.
