How to Make Quick Fried Bitter Gourd

• Wash the bitter gourds, cut and scrape out the seeds inside.
• Slice into thin slices.
• Soak the slices in salt water and a pinch of turmeric for about 2 hours. This would remove a lot of its bitterness off.
• Drain and squeeze out the excess water.
• Mix with the chilli powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
• Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the bitter gourd slices till golden brown and crisp. Serve with ketchup.
• This tastes best with curd rice.
