Tindola or Ivy Gourd

  • About

Known more commonly in U.S. markets by its Indian name—tindola or tindora—ivy gourd (Coccinia grandis) is one of the most common vegetables at any Bombay stall. Tindolas look like little gherkins, but unlike cucumbers, they must be cooked through to be enjoyed and for any residual astringency to disappear. They are one of my favorite vegetables, and I will go to any lengths to secure a supply when they are available. Canned and frozen tindola can be found at Indian markets. Ignore the canned ones. In times of tindola deprivation I’ve bought the frozen variety, but I’ve decided it’s better to wait for the fresh ones.
