Kundru (Ivy Gourd) is a tropical vegetable from the family of “pumpkins”.
It’s available in many parts of the world including India, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, etc. It has a very high content of water, complex carbs, iron, and vitamins.A lot of people in India believe that it also regulates the blood sugar level in our body.
Since Kundru, has a high water content, it’s very mild in flavor hence it’s easier to make it into curries, dry vegetables OR fritters.
Initially, I was not a big fan of this vegetable as it didn’t taste very well, however, having it few times in different preparation, made it one of my fav veggie.
