Its veggie all the way

All of you my friends would some day or the other felt the need to talk to a vegetable vendor, and suddenly when he or she starts conversing in Kannada and describing the vegetables in kannada, you would wonder which veggie is she/he describing.Now this does not happen that frequently in Bangalore, but I feel this article might be of help when you go around karnataka
So lets start
Kosu : cabbage
HuKosu or HooKosu : Cauliflower
BendayKai : Ladies Finger
NuggayKai : Drumstick
HuraLiKai : Beans
Mulangi : Radish
Haagalakai ” bitter groud
GumbaLakai or BoodhgumbaLakai : Pumpkin
Sowtheykai : Cucumber
EeruLLi : Onion

Question for the day :If Kosu is cabbage, Hukosu is cauliflower, what is Navilkosu ?
Happy vegetable purchasing
