Introduction

Upo squash is a common Philippine vegetable. I think the English name is called a "bottle gourd". It can grow up to 3 feet long. In this recipe, the squash is cooked in an Indian curry. I guess that any squash can be substituted. Upo squash is a common Philippine vegetable. I think the English name is called a "bottle gourd". It can grow up to 3 feet long.
