Overview
Palee is not a zucchini at all but a hybrid Indian bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), filed here among the summer squashes. The vines bear dark green fruit covered in dense spines, and they are picked at 7 to 8 inches. In Indian cooking it goes into soups and curries, where its bitterness is welcome. Grow it on a trellis as you would other climbing gourds.
