Glossary of Indian Vegetable Names – Below is the list of Indian vegetables names in English and Hindi.
I have compiled this list from various sources such as Wikipedia, Cooking books and Internet websites. I will be also adding translation of these names in local Indian languages such as Tamil, Gujarati, Marathi etc. If you feel that some vegetable name is missing from this list or you know the name in local language then please comment below. I will try to update this list.
