Kantola ki sabzi -Spine gourd stir fried with potato and Indian spices-

Kantola /kankoda /Kakrol / teasel Gourd is from the gourd family and is a seasonal vegetable.It looks like a spiky melon and taste almost similar to bittergourd, sans its bitterness,or a mix taste of bitter gourd and parval.

Kantola ki sabzi is my daughters favorite stir fry,so today I am posting this recipe specially for her,so she can try this soon.
Its a very healthy vegetable as it possess very good nutritive and medicinal properties. It is rich in fiber and vitamins and  is cooling to the body.

It is good  for cough,fever,controls the sugar level,increase the appetite and  good for kidneys so a very good vegetable to have during summers and monsoon.

You can add sliced potato in it or just make sabzi only with kantola only. kantols’s are not peeled just the edges are trimmed off. But do  soak them in enough water for some time and then rub them well to remove all the dirt sticking on the outer surface.  Slice kantola after rubbing and washing them well only.

    This is not a vegetable I am familiar with but when you say it's like bitter gourd but not bitter, I am willing to give it a try. After all, I tried bitter gourd twice to make sure it had a fair chance. 🙂 Where do you buy it in Dubai?
