These are the only vegetables my father is allowed to eat due to his medical condition (kidney issues and diabetes):

Bhindi – Okra

Tinday – Apple Gourd (a small round squash, like a baby pumpkin)

Tori – Ridge Gourd or Sponge Gourd (similar to zucchini)

Ghia / Lauki – Bottle Gourd (also called calabash or opo squash)

Shaljam – Turnip

Gajar – Carrot

Mix Sabzi – A mix of the above vegetables only (no spinach, cauliflower, etc.)

🧑‍🍳 These are cooked as a light curry (salan) using only one tablespoon of oil — no heavy spices or ingredients that could harm kidney or sugar levels.
