Tindoori (Ivy Gourd)

Fresh Tindoori (Ivy Gourd / Tindora / Kovakkai)

Tindoori — known as Tindora, Ivy Gourd, Kovakkai, or Kundru — is a beloved everyday vegetable in Indian, South Asian, and Sri Lankan cooking. Firm, crisp, and mildly sweet, it holds its shape beautifully when cooked and absorbs spices wonderfully, making it the star of some of the most comforting dishes in the subcontinent.

At Curry Kart, our tindoori is sourced fresh from India and carefully selected for size, firmness, and quality — so you always get produce that cooks evenly and tastes exactly as it should.
