Bitter gourd was not one of my favourite vegetables. I used to intensely dislike the bitter taste. Things did not get much better whenever my father used to visit me. He was a great fan of bitter gourd. The more bitter, the better. He therefore used to request Hari to make just bitter gourd stir fried with a little salt and turmeric powder. Really bitter to taste! And he would have this everyday. I therefore used to avoid this healthy vegetable. Till Hari once made me a stuffed bitter gourd. Absolutely delicious. And not bitter at all. It was then that I began exploring other bitter gourd recipes. The one detailed below in another of Hari’s recipes.
