The frozen kakrol's were really tiny, about an inch to an inch an half in length with the skins on. It was quite bitter (I am not a karela fan) and so it was disapponting. Good to know the name is Teasle Gourd - did not know that.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216909049770227577.post-77561082430282459612009-11-17T00:36:22.040+05:302009-11-17T00:36:22.040+05:30Teasle gourd seems pretty nice. must to try.Teasle gourd seems pretty nice. must to try.Vikis Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500893693043555389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216909049770227577.post-9360366581239794572009-11-08T20:00:16.063+05:302009-11-08T20:00:16.063+05:30came here searching for a proper name of this vege...came here searching for a proper name of this vegetable...i know ghee karela , khekhsa n kakrol n kakode....i am going to post a recipe n will give a link to this one too....<br />nice blog n great recipe..sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216909049770227577.post-67669843807223436932008-07-18T00:43:00.000+05:302008-07-18T00:43:00.000+05:30Ooh, I love being introduced to new foods.
