I have always seen moms fight with their kids with karela(bitter gourd). Cant blame the kids. The vegetable is indeed bitter. Here is an attempt to make it little less bitter.
Dedicated to the kids!
Ingredients:
Two medium sized bitter gourds.
Few spoons of ghee
Black pepper powder - 1 teaspoon
Cumin - a pinch
Fenugreek - a pinch
SUgar
Salt
Step 1: Wash the bitter gourd and then cut them in small thin round shapes (like a 50pc coin).
Step 2: Take a 1 teaspoon of black pepper, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, few drops of ghee. And mix the vegetables well. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
Step 3 : Take a kadai. Heat 3 teaspoons ghee over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of cumin seed and fenugreek to it. Add a spoonfull of suger and stir.
Step 4: Add the cut vegetables.
Step 5. Fry in medium to slow flame.
This can be served with hot rice, or also can be teamed with chapathi - sabji.
