Kundru is the green vegetable. In English Ivy gourd. This is one of my favorite dish. I always used to cook this. Kundru is very tasty and healthy dish. There are some vegetables used in Indian cuisine, which are not very popular and are not given their due credit by many people. 

It is quick dish that can be paired with dal and rice. It is a common Indian vegetable and prepared in various different ways. It is very popular in Asian City.  I cook this recipe with some basic ingredients. There is something about this particular food culture that may not woo a lot of people at the first go. But once you keep trying dishes you will know the versatility and the real flavors, and these can be your favorites.
