In Vietnamese cuisine, the gourd is called “mướp hương” and is a common ingredient in soups and stir-fried dishes. In Myanmar, it is known as that pwet thee (သဗွတ်သီး). In Hindi-speaking North Indian states, it is called torai (तोरई), and cooked as vegetable. But in central/Western India specially in MP, it is called gilki (गिल्की). Torai is reserved for ridge gourd and is less popular than gilki in central western India.
