Juicy pointed gourd? Unfortunately, ''parwal'' [in hindi] or ''potol'' [in assamese, bangla/Bengali, oriya/odishi] doesn't have a proper English name as it isn't cultivated outside India and parts of Bangladesh. The South Asian climate is the best suitable factor for its cultivation. Although, there is a scientific name: Trichosanthes dioica. [Colloquially, it's also known by the misnomer ''green potato'' due to its uncanny resemblance with potatoes. -19yoLad
