    This stir fry looks absolutely delicious! The only way I know how to cook bitter gourd is just stir fry with eggs, your recipe sounds a lot more interesting. I'll definitely give it a try as soon as I can find bitter gourd, can't wait!

    Dear Sangeetha
    Great recipe. We eat bitter gourd every day. I stir fry thin slices with salt turmeric and a seasoning of one red chili only.
    I shall try this one with Garlidc and onion..will great I am sure
    Happy New Year

    fry looks delicious and one suggestion sangee, before cooking pavakka..slice them and put them in water with turmeric powder for 1/2hr…so that bitter will reduce.
