- Wash the bitter gourd and slit vertically, scoop out the flesh Chop it in small bites and mix with a little salt. Keep aside for 5-7 mins and squeeze out the water that is drained out. In the meantime, coarsely grind the coconut,shallots and green chillies without adding any water.Don't over do this or else the shreds become very small, just a pulse or two is enough. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds when oil is hot. When the mustard splutters, add the turmeric powder on low flame. Add the chopped bitter gourd, onion, curry leaves and the coarsely ground mix. Give a quick stir and add few splashes of water. Cook covered on low medium flame for 3-4 minutes. Uncover lid, add salt as needed and cook covered again for 2-3 mins. Switch off flame once all the moisture is evaporated. Enjoy with steamed rice !!
