(Shakotra) , This is a small, round variety of summer squash, closely related to the common zucchini. It has a smooth to slightly ribbed light green skin with subtle stripes and a firm, mild, white flesh. Unlike the long varieties, its compact, ball-like shape makes it suitable for stuffing and baking, though it can also be sliced, grilled, or used in curries.
