I finally made to my local indian grocery and bought quite a bunch of different spices and produce so now i need help in identifying some of this stuff and also how to use it.

Tindora - cute small and striped: zucchini/cucumbers?

Tuvar - also cute and small: some sort of green beans?

I passed on valor... and karela :biggrin:

There were also some gorgeous looking big flat green leaves that i forgot to write the name of down...

Thank you.

Helenas- quite a bit has been written about how to use these.. I think a quick search on the threads will help you out. Do come back and ask more questions if the search is not as helpful as I think it will be.

they were in bunch, looking very appetizing and all leaves were on the same level and more or less of same size...

EDIT: after some more reading and browsing i think this is a malabar spinach...
