Needs Minimal Support and Care

I only used a small wire rack and the plant trained itself upward. Barely needed to guide it, and it produced well.

Cooks Fast and Doesn’t Absorb Too Much Oil

I fried these with mustard and curry leaves—delicious! They cook quickly and don’t soak up too much oil like other gourds.
