We love bitter gourd. This is fresh from our In-Law family garden and we took half for the soup and another half for this dish.
Bitter gourd believed can lower down body heat and cooling the system especially during summer. It is also help detox the body toxic and refresh the immune system too.
Yeah, most of the people out there do not like its bitter taste, however, in my recipe, there’s not bitter but it is just too yummy!
