June 30, 2009 at 2:26 pm |
Hi,
Recently i have attended one social function of our comunity.They served Parvalas a vegetable.I inquired from where they purchased because i have not seen parval in manny stores of LA.
There is one store name “Patel brothers” from there they purchase Parvar.May be from Santa Clara.In Florida there are growers,somebody told me during disscusion.In NJ you get this easily.
In short search in “patel brothers”you will get it. I think very long reply……

Cranberry is called Vakaya in Telugu. It can be used to make dal and lot of other things. The look is little different from Cranberry and Vakaya however the difference is only due to the geographical difference and the climatci conditions.

I want to know the telugu name for vegetable jalakumbhi(ayurveda)
July 21, 2009 at 8:00 am |
i would like to know what is the correct name of a vegetable that grows on a vine here in South Africa. It is green and bell shaped with ridges and also has spines on it. When peeled it is green to white in color. It is commonly called Susu or Soosoo. I have tried to find this vegetable on the net but no such luck. When cleaning it makes the hands sticky which forms a skin if left to dry. It can be cooked like a potato as well as fried. Draws a lot of water if kooked though.
September 30, 2009 at 5:51 am |
hi!
This is kalidasan from chennai. I want know about the vegetable name called susu or sooso or seed please help me
August 1, 2009 at 1:29 pm |
Hi Madhoori, First I would like to appreciate you for your work and the amount of effort you have put into this to give good information. But in one of your answers/reply you told that “In Telugu Tomato is called “Tamota” just difference in calling it” when you were asked about the name for tomato in Telugu to someone down the line that. But I would like to share some of my knowledge with you that tomato is called as “ramamkaya” in some of the villages/towns in Our State. So if you could add this information too, might be helpful for most of them. Hope this has helped you in some or the other way. I apologize if I have taken too much lenience here.
August 2, 2009 at 6:44 am |
