Very interesting I wish I could read Telugu. Is the script so very different to Tamil? I can imagine that the transition from Rajasthan to Chennai must have been one adventure. I liked the cream sweets in Pushkar, they are my favorites. Do you have those too in Chennai? I don’t cook much with Karela, not so my veggie, except when I have one growing in the garden. Maybe I should give the bitter gourd another chance with your recipe.

Honestly, the name of it kind of scares me. 🙂 I’m not a fan of bitter at all. So is it really bitter? Do your spicy mask any bitterness of the gourd? It sure looks good and of course, I always love your wonderful spices! Your articles looks wonderful! Hopefully you’ve had someone read it to you. I’m sure it’s very flattering. 🙂

The recipe sounds wonderful and the pics are very well-taken too 🙂

@Rekha, You don’t need to salt bitter-gourd in this recipe, as it is simmered in tamarind water for some time which does the trick of removing bitterness from the veggie.
