i want to go with 

Crescentia cujete 

but would like to see the leaves

look at this point of difference from our own page link given by Garg ji

quote 

In India, the genus Crescentia L. is represented by two introduced species viz., C. alata Kunth and C. cujete L. These species are planted in many states of India due to their ornamental values.
Key to the Species
a) Leaves trifoliolate; petioles prominently winged; flowers maroon red; fruits globose or pyriform.........................1. C. alata
b) Leaves simple, undivided; petioles not winged; flowers whitish green; fruits ovoid..............................................2. C. cujete

[Ushadi Micromini]

seems it is not  trifoliolate

and it also does not show winged petiole of the leaf

seems is the operative word

so it seems it must be 

C. cujete
