- Now chop each bitter gourd into 3 pieces and clean the inside pulp. (Now to remove the bitterness you can boil bitter gourd in buttermilk + 2 cups of water or boil for 2 to 3 minutes in tamarind extract + 2 cups of water). In a pan add enough oil for shallow frying. Now fry the bitter gourd pieces in oil in medium flame until crisp. When bitter gourd turns golden brown in color remove the fried bitter gourd using slotted spoon. Now in a blender add chopped onion, garlic, curry leaves, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, tamarind extract, salt and cumin seeds. Grind it into a fine paste. Now heat oil in a pan add curry leaves then add the ground paste in oil and allow it to cook till the raw smell is gone. This should take about 10 minutes. When the raw smell of the onion mixture is gone add the piece of jaggery and fried kakarakaya.Mix it well.Now toss the kakarakaya in the onion mixture well.
