8 Veggies that all of us want our moms to stop making now!

Dedicated to all the moms

We had a small survey in our Times Food office and we discovered that most people around dislike these eight veggies. We agree they are loaded with nutrition and are super healthy, but once a while most of us have resisted them and have asked our moms to make something interesting rather than perpetually trying to sneak in these healthy veggies in our food. We know we are making most mom's angry as they are forever battling with the question-'Aaaj kya banega..?" but we would be happy if they give us a break from the following veggies every now and then.

1. Torai (Luffa)

Lately we got to know about the dip made with the skin of this vegetable. Not to lie, it was fairly good, but the main course dish made with lentils is just not worth office tiffin. But who can dare to say this to mom? Image courtesy: Pixabay

2. Tinda (Round Gourd)

Mom, when you try to play clever by adding it in Sambar, we don’t say anything. But when you try to pamper us before dinner with health benefits of Tinda, it is just not done. The lecture is not going to change the ‘yucky’ taste of this vegetable. (Image courtesy: Shutterstock)

3. Kaddu (Pumpkin)

The seeds are good to go for a few delicacies, but the main course dish is a total no. Sorry, the taste and look is so unappetizing!

4. Parwal (Pointed Gourd)

Whether made dry or with gravy these seeds filled bundle of vitamins are just not worth any platter. And yes, even the dessert version of it is not so pleasing. All the moms out there, please stop buying them and torturing us.

5. Guar Fali (Dry Cluster Beans)

At times, when the Chinese food stall guy mixes it with noodles, it looks good and tastes quite ok, but that doesn’t mean we will start loving it.

6. Lauki (Bottle Gourd)

The only form of this dish that we love is ‘Raita’. Rest all, please RIP, we don’t want to see you on our table or inside the lunch-box.

7. Karela (Bitter Gourd)

So rudely bitter this veggie is! There is nothing to like about it. Mom, even if you will keep adding onions to it, it will hardly make us fall for it. Image courtesy: Pixabay

8. Arbi (Colocasia)

The appetizer made with the leaves are good, but not the main course curry dish. They are dirty to look at and are tasteless. Whether made with poppy seeds and curry leaves or with mustard paste they are forever tasteless. Ewwwww...
