Thanks for the information about this vegetable. My neighbor gave me a piece of stick to plant, and she said it is a cucumber. So I planted it; now there are bunch of little veges, and waiting for it to grow like 8 inches or so. Then she told me no, you have to pick it as soon as its about 1 inch or else it will be too old and hard; then you cook it. Oh, I didn’t know that. I thought it was like a regular american cucumber, since she called it “cucumber.” But it is quite small like a miniature appearance of a thin watermelon. It definitely look like this picture. So thanks for the information and picture; now I know what to call it, and I will cook it like a curry flavor.

Dear Indira

Dhonda kaaya is my favorite - but its very expensive in CA ($3 - $4 /lb). My mom makes it so yummy. She cuts into small pieces (slit and then cut across) and put some salt and mix it nicely with hand (Baaga chethitho gattiga kalapaali). Then put normal thiraga baatha, put the vegetables. Fry it for a while adding little bit oil and then add koora podi (My mom’s special koora podi - She makes this with channa daal, dhaniya, r.chillies, and few more (I forget!!!) - you can literally use this on all vegetables)

Yummy & Tasty vegetable ready…

TO: Mr.Ajit Murarka, comment #35.
I have tried growing tindora using seeds from red ripe ones but failed. I will very much appreciate getting two plants or just cuttings and I will send you a money order or check for cost and S&H. Please reply. Thanks

i ate this for the first time in an Indian restaurant and just had to make it at home. I could only find it frozen so followed your basic recipe and added tomatoes and bell peppers. good but somewhat bland- I think I’ll try the besan tip. What about adding garam masala or dhania? would that interfere with the coconut flavor?
