Galka, also known as ridge gourd or turia, is a soft, spongy vegetable used widely in Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine. It cooks down quickly and is ideal for light curries, dry sabzis, or coconut-based gravies. Its delicate flavour blends well with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and mild masalas. This vegetable is perfect for everyday vegetarian meals.
Galka is rich in fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants, supporting digestion and overall health. It’s low in calories and works well in detox or light meal plans. Whether sautéed or simmered in dal, it delivers both taste and texture with minimal prep.
Keep refrigerated and use within 2–3 days. Peel before cooking and chop into chunks. Best enjoyed with roti or steamed rice.
