    Your curry looks so delicious! I've never eaten bitter gourd before. Is it really bitter? or just a name? Do you have any suggestion what kind of vegetable that I can use instead of bitter gourd if I want to make this curry? Can I use eggplants?

    I usually don't like to make Pavakka Curry, but after seeing my mom made it. Surprisingly, my sister who just cannot stand Pavakka Theeyal ate it without making a fuss :D.
