Karonda Fry (Carandas Fry)
My recent visit to vegetable market exposed me to Karondas and I instantly got nostalgic of my childhood days when we used to grow this plant in our kitchen garden. I was always mesmerised by the colors of this fruit and its flowers. Now when I explored more about this, I realised its medicinal values in curing anemia, bad digestion, stomach pain, constipation etc. Here is a simple preparation for making Karonda which my mom used to prepare.
