We calm it called kundru …

But for some reason it’s also called gentleman’s toes…and most commonly, ivy gourd.

It’s a magic vegetable as it helps in maintaining sugar levels & that’s very important in Ramzan at time of iftar.

Ingredients

Kundru – 1/2 kg ( hold from top and make 2 slits being careful not to let it separate

1 tsp ginger garlic paste

Pinch of turmeric

1 tsp coarsely ground coriander

Salt & chilli powder to taste

Oil

1 onion finely sliced

Method :

In a kadhai heat mustard oil.

When it’s hot, lower flame add onions. When golden add the stuffed Kundru.

Cook on Sim, covered for 15 minutes.

Turn very lightly with flat spatula so it doesn’t break.

Serve hot with chapati
