Turai Mooli ki Sabzi , Sponge Gourd and Radish Curry

Turai Mooli Ki Sabzi- A simple and rustic curry made with sponge gourd and radish / turai mooli.

Turai Mooli Ki sabzi- Sponge gourd or Turai is a summer special vegetable though now it is available around the year like most other vegetables. It is from the gourd family like lauki and tinda.

All the gourds are very healthy to have in summer as they are have high water content and easily digestible. It is high in vitamins and minerals, good for high blood pressure and diabetes patients, and helpful in constipation. But as it is very mild flavors so many people stays away from it.

Me and every one in my family love to eat lauki and turai so during the summer season I often makes lauki ki sabzi and turai. Vegetables like lauki, turai and tinda taste best when cooked with minimum spices and oil thus cooling in the hot summer season.

Turai comes in two varieties, one with ridges and one with smooth peel like cucumber. I always prefer the one with smooth peel. I often makes another simple curry – Turai ki sabzi.

Turai is also called as Gilki or Galka in Uttar Pradesh. My great grandmother loves Turai and Mooli ki sabzi which she called – Galka Moori ki sabzi.

I also love the simple and rustic flavours of this humble and flavourful turai mooli ki sabzi. This curry is made with few ingredients like green chili, coriander and lemon juice. Tempering should be done in either mustard oil or ghee only.

The curry is quite watery as turai and mooli both release water while cooking. If you want a slightly dry curry then can boil it on high flame for some time.

I love to have this turai mooli ki sabzi with garam garam rotis and lots of ghee, but it also taste great with steamed rice. Do try this curry and you will surely love the simple flavours.
