    Thank you. Canadian married to Indian man. Soon living in Mumbai. Hubby has tummy issues with spicy food so he is looking forward to me cooking Canada style. Very nice list here. I know this sounds like an odd request...any Western/European adaption recipes to use these fruits and veggies?

    Very good compilation. However, I noticed an important veggie has been omitted. Teasel gourd. A very common veg in E. India.

      Good find! I actually thought it looked like spiny gourd, but then I had to do additional research to find that teasel gourd (Momordica dioica) is not in fact the same thing as spine gourd (Cucumis dipsaceus). Looks like they're related, but still different. Will add later; thanks!
