Description
Profile: Mild, Succulent & Traditional
Experience: The Authentic "Pointed Gourd" Delivered Fresh
Ashoka Parval (Pointed Gourd) brings one of India’s most beloved summer vegetables to your freezer with zero hassle. Known for its distinct texture and ability to soak up rich spices, these gourds are harvested at a tender stage, cleaned, and sliced to ensure you get the best flavour without the tedious prep work of scraping and deseeding.
Key Features
-
Expert Selection: Only young, tender Parval are chosen to ensure the seeds are soft and the skin isn't woody or tough.
-
Prepped for Convenience: Cleaned and cut into uniform pieces, saving you time and effort in the kitchen.
-
Nutritional Benefits: A light, easy-to-digest vegetable that is low in calories but rich in vitamins and dietary fiber.
-
Consistent Quality: Flash-frozen to maintain its natural shape and firm texture, preventing the sogginess often found in poorly handled produce.
Quick Prep
-
Aloo Parval Ki Sabzi: Sauté directly from frozen with cubed potatoes, cumin, and turmeric for a classic North Indian daily staple.
-
Potol Posto: Simmer the frozen pieces in a rich poppy seed paste for a traditional Bengali delicacy.
-
Bharwan Parval: While these are pre-cut, they work excellently when tossed in a dry masala stir-fry with fennel and amchur.
-
Crispy Fry: Thinly slice while semi-frozen and deep-fry with a light dusting of besan (gram flour) and spices for a crunchy side dish.
Storage & Care
Keep frozen at -18°C. For the best texture, cook directly from frozen. If you are making a dry stir-fry, use a high flame initially to evaporate any surface moisture and maintain the gourd's firm bite.
Note: Naturally vegan and gluten-free. This 310g pack is perfectly portioned for a hearty family side dish or to be mixed into a variety of regional gravies.
