I’m always looking for innovative ways to serve bitter gourd. I was just experimenting with my Indian spices one day and made this yummy dish. It is a great side for a number of South Indian rice dishes like rasam or sambar rice.
Ingredients
- 2 bitter gourds, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch rings
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 pinches asafoetida powder
- ½ teaspoon gram flour (besan)
- ½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon jaggery
Directions
Step 1
Place bitter gourd rings in a microwave-safe bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil and salt to coat. Microwave, stirring halfway through, until tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the gourds and asafoetida powder. Cook and stir until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add besan, ground red chile, and coriander; cook and stir until flavors meld, about 3 minutes. Add jaggery; mix well.
Cook’s Note:
You can use 1 cup of frozen bitter gourd pieces. Place the rings in a microwave-safe dish and defrost for a minute or 2 (depending on your microwave setting). Drain the water out from the dish completely.
