Karela stir fry-
This is yet one of those green monsters that has plagued me and given me countless nightmares in my childhood! Eventually came across some really nice ways of cooking and masking the bitter taste. This combined the flavour of karela with fresh coconut, sourness of tamarind and sweetness of jaggery, a win win situation. Do try it….you will love it!
Recipe –
2 cups sliced karela, soak in salt water and squeeze out after 20mins
1 chopped onion
1 tsp chopped ginger
1 handful chopped coconut optional
