Bitter Gourd or ‘Karela’ (kaarate in Konkani) is the most disliked vegetable on account of its bitter taste. Very few people would probably be fond of this vegetable. I am not a big fan of bitter gourd. However, when it is prepared with spicy coconut masala, I savor it. When cooked in this way, the bitter taste does not disappear. It just tastes different and better.
Ingredients
Karela – 2
Coconut – ½
Coriander Seeds – 1 ½ tsp
Jeera – 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds – ½ tsp
Dried red chillies- 4
Green chilli - 2
Onion – 1 medium sized.
