Ivy gourd (Coccinia indica) Is also known as Tendli, Tondli, Tindora, Kunduri, Kundru, Kovakkai, Kovai, Kovakkai, Dondakaya Gherkin, Gentleman's Toe, Kovakka, Baby Watermelons and Little Gourd. Coccinia indica is a tropical plant that is actually an exotic vine and member of pumpkin family and is an aggressive climber that can spread quickly over trees, shrubs, fences and other supports.


Tendli is good for diabetes as helping in controlling blood sugar levels. It is rich in fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation and very good sources of beta-carotene, vitamin C and protein.


The garlic, tomato combination works great with ivy gourd. Trust me, after this recipe you will forget all other preparation of ivy gourd.

  5. garlic & ginger without onion, on a rich tomato base added a richness to an otherwise bland (albeit nutritious) vegetable. A simple & wonderful dish. Many thanks for the recipe
