Ridge gourd, or torai, is a long, ridged green vegetable known for its light, spongy interior and quick cooking time. Freshly sourced by Vivek, it's often used in dry stir-fries, dals, and traditional North Indian sabzis. Its slightly earthy taste complements mustard seeds, green chili, and garlic tempering. Ridge gourd cooks down softly and absorbs flavors easily, making it a favorite for homestyle meals. Pick gourds that are tender and firm for best results. Vivek delivers fresh torai suitable for everyday vegetarian cooking.
