Bitter gourd Masala Stir-Fry a delicious dry Subzi which can be served as an accompaniment with any South Indian Main courses or even with Roti/Paratha or Pulao varieties. Sliced Bitter gourd rings are first stir-fried and then cooked in onion-tomato masala along with potato and mild spices.
Bittergourd as the name explains is a very bitter vegetable. Many of us doesn't like bittergourd and we skip this healthy vegetable. But my family loves this Bittergourd and I make different dishes with bittergourd like Bittergourd Theeyal, Bittergourd Pitlai etc. We can make plain bittergourd stir-fry which might be little bitter but if we add some masalas along with onion, tomato and potato then the bitterness is nicely reduced and this Bitter Gourd Masala Stir-Fry would be so inviting and appetizing and we would love to have more servings.
