Kundru (Ivy Gourd) is a tropical vegetable from the family of “pumpkins”. 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.
