Dondakai ( Tindora )



Tindora is a type of gherkin, which is also known as Kundru in U.P. Dondakai in Telugu, Tondekayi in Kannada, Telakuch in Bengali, and Kovakai in Malayalam.It is not the tastiest of dishes and is considered to be a distant cousin of the Parwal. In fact the Tindora Zhunka was one of the better tindora dishes I ever had.Well, the point of the post was that Kundru or the Tindora can help reduce blood sugar. Tindora is a good food for diabetics to eat, because it has very little carbohydrate and therefore will not raise your blood sugar dramatically, like potatoes for example.
