Can we carry fruits to india on US-India flights...???

hi friends,
iam going to india with my 14month son.iam confused about what to carry what not to.i have packed good amount of diapers as last time i found the diapers in india are not that good as of here.my son likes plum a lot,he doesnt like any other fruit this much.and i dont think as soon as i land in india ,i can go shopping for fruits.so is it possible that i can carry some fruits with me to india.although those are not allowed ,but just small amount in my hand bag until i can go out and shop in india.please any other suggestions that u can share with me,it would be a great help.
thanks friends..
take care..

yeah you can carry some fruits in your hand bag. It is allowed and nobody will question you. If they ask, you can say that you are keeping it for the journey. Its perfectly fine.
