Description:
Even though bitter gourd is low in calories but they are rich sources of minerals, anti-oxidants, dietary fiber etc. Bitter gourd is not the favourite of many because of the bitter taste it possess. If you cook bitter gourd with other veggies the bitterness will reduce and will taste good.
Ingredients:
1. Bitter gourd - 2 to 3(Small)
2. Potato - 3(medium)
3. Onion - 1(medium)
4. Mustard seeds
5. Turmeric powder - 1/2tspn
6. Chilli powder - 1tspn
7. Garam masala - 1/2tspn(optional)
8. Oil
9. Salt to taste
Procedure:
Clean the bitter gourd and cut them into roundels or thin slices. Add good amount of salt on the bitter gourd pieces and let it sit for 20-30 minutes or more. Before cooking rinse off the salt. This process is done to reduce the bitterness.
Cut the potatoes into small cube shapes and slice the onion. Take a wok and pour some oil. Splutter mustard and add the onions first. Saute for few seconds and then add the veggies. Cover the lid and cook for sometime. Next add the turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt. You can add some garam masala too as it will enhance the taste but optional. I added for this recipe.
Cover the lid again and cook till the veggies are done. Check for salt and add if required. Serve hot with rice. Enjoy.
