How to love Bitter gourd?
Suggest some dishes or any special ingredients or special cooking style which make bitter gourd not hate??
I’m finding really hard to make the dishes with bitter gourd delicious.
Tagging @Bittergourd here 😅😅
Usually sprinkling salt and then squeezing out the moisture/water produced from salt takes away the bitterness. Also adding amchur, tamarind, sugar/jaggery, lemon can enhance its favour and further take away the bitterness. I don't make any special dishes with bittergourd but just like stuffed bitter gourd or crunchy stir-fried bittergourd with lots of onion in it, to go with roti/parathas.
I used to be in the same boat, not liking it.
Try making bitter gourd chips ( coated with corn flour, not sure of the other smaller portion ingredients/spices mixed in the batter). these go like papad along with your main course meals. They won't be that bitter, and goes well as an accompaniment
Bitter gourd with onions or gram flour tastes amazing. Anyhow I feel bitter gourd is an acquired taste, give it a few chances and you will begin to love it.
Try to cook with potato you will love it else use Little more onion thats also make bitterness low
Shallow fry crispy like potato or ladyfinger
Bitter gourd and pumpkin sabzi with rice
Try A2B bitter gourd chips
Bitter gourd with mango shake , tastes quite well
