Indian cucumber is the English name of Koduri or Konduli or Tindora.
Potol, even though is a look-alike and a cousin ( they all belong to the
Cucurbetaece family), is a different veggie.

Hi All: Could anybody tell me what is the English name of Potol - yes, the
vegetable that is abundant during the summer(?) in Assam and $9.00 a pound in
the US :). Like any other vegetables, I was never crazy about it but it is
okay. But the hindusthani(?) name 'parowol' for 'potol' is just driving me
nuts. I would rather talk about it in English. :) Oh, please don't think this
now: 'eh, aami imaan sirius kotha paati aasu - dex-bidexor baare-boronia
rajnitir kotha-r logote` upor-khapor kotha, eo akou aahil eta paak-ghoror xoru
kotha eta loi'. I better go home to take care of our two beautiful (I better
say, handsome before they feel insulted, but they are too beautiful - you know
what I mean, if you ever have had a dog at home) dogs. Have a great evening,
Everyone!!
