Sponge gourd, commonly known as Galka, Turai, or Gilki, is one of the most popular and healthy vegetables in Indian households. It belongs to the cucumber family and is loved for its light, spongy texture, mild taste, and quick cooking quality. This vegetable is packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a daily diet.
Fresh Galka is naturally green, tender, and loaded with dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is considered an excellent vegetable for digestion as it is light on the stomach and easy to cook. Rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Iron, and Magnesium, sponge gourd supports immunity, skin health, and overall body wellness. Its high water content helps keep the body hydrated, especially in hot summers.
This versatile vegetable can be used to prepare a wide range of recipes like Galka ki Sabzi, Turai with Moong Dal, Stuffed Gilki, Galka Curry, or even simple stir fry with mild spices. In Indian kitchens, it is also combined with other vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, and onions to make a wholesome dish.
Sponge gourd is also valued in Ayurveda for its cooling effect, detoxifying properties, and weight management benefits. It is very low in calories and fat, making it a smart choice for people who are health-conscious or following a diet plan.
