Good one.
I was going to bookmark this recipe till I saw the word prawns. What do you suggest to replace prawns. Sounds yum.
Archana its a typo, just removed it.
We usually make it this way, though I don't touch bittergourd..:)
Don't you marinate the gourds ? If you marinate these they will loose their bitterness . I have never cooked these directly , ok let me give it a try .
I am a big fan of this veggie. Thank you for sharing one more way to cook bittergourd.
Bittergourd is one of the most loved summer veggies in my family. Definitely give it a try to have some variation...bookmarked
Interesting stir fry with karela.
Bittergourd with ground peanuts sounds like a delicious combination. Will have to try this out some time.
It is one of my favorites and I can never understand why it isn't as popular as should be. Love your version...peanuts seem to be a nice crunchy addition to bitter gourd
