How to Cook Turai

Peel the ridges lightly, slice into rounds or half-moons, and cook with a simple tadka of cumin, onion, tomato, and green chilli for a classic sabzi. Add to dal for a hearty one-pot meal, or stuff with a spiced filling for a baked or pan-fried treat. Turai also pairs beautifully with yoghurt-based gravies and coconut-based south Indian preparations.

Storage Tips

Store in the refrigerator and use within 3–5 days for best freshness. Do not freeze raw. Wash thoroughly before peeling and cooking.
