Bitter Gourd Fry / Pavakai Varuval
This is my mom’s specialty recipe. When this is cooked at my home, I don’t even leave any trace in my plate. Ghee along with bitter gourd mixed with white rice really tastes good. Ghee reduces the bitter taste of it little. I bet you would surely like this if you are a fan of bitter gourd. Try it out and let me know.
