delicious combo...I love bittergaurds but no one else in my family does..
is there any way i can reduce its bitterness..does adding more tomatoes hide its bitter flavour?
Dear s,
marinate the sliced bittergourd pieces with salt and keep for half an hour.Dain the water out and wash it again.I use tamarind paste too to reduce the bitterness.Thanks for comment.
