Kovakkai is known in different names at different regions – Tindora, Ivy Gourd, Tendli etc. It has a many health benefits. In traditional medicine, fruits have been used to treat leprosy, fever, asthma, bronchitis, and jaundice. The fruit possesses mast cell-stabilizing, antianaphylactic and antihistaminic potential. The roots are used to treat osteoarthritis and joint pain. A paste made of leaves is applied to the skin to treat scabies. They are claimed to help regulate blood sugar levels. Some research supports that compounds in the plant inhibit glucose-6-phosphatase. Glucose-6-phosphatase is one of the key liver enzymes involved in regulating sugar metabolism. Therefore, ivy gourd is sometimes recommended for diabetic patients. A fair amount of research on the medicinal properties of this plant are focusing on its use as an antioxidant, antihypoglycemic agent, immune system modulator, etc.[citation needed] Some countries in Asia, such as Thailand, prepare traditional tonic-like drinks for medicinal purposes. Leaving aside all these research on its health benefits, this vegetable can be used to make very tasty dishes. The fry, which we are going to see, is a very easy and quick to make dish and it tastes very good.
