Kothavarangai, also known as the Indian Cucumber or Ridge Gourd (Luffa acutangula), is a type of vegetable commonly used in South Asian cuisine. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crisp texture. The fruit is usually green, with a ridged exterior, and is typically cooked in curries, stir-fries, or soups. It's valued for its nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. In addition to its culinary uses, the dried fibers of the gourd can be used as natural scrubbers.
