i like bittr gourd a lot and ilike stuffed ones the most. i love to make them but now after marriage i have not mad because their style and my style is totally different. they like it too fried and too oily, whereas i dont like tha style. i use very less oil in my cooking. and i am very concious about the health and the healthyness of the veg we are eating also. it is too bitter in taste but it is good for many illness and can cure many diseases. it is good for weightloss too. the juice of it, which is very difficult to drink.

Yes friend i too like 'karela', bitter gourd, it is certainly bitter in taste but full of medicinal properties, i go for deep fried in oil, the bitterness is less.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

we eat this vegetable and my wife is a good cook. though our child does not like to eat this in time i know he will enjoy it too. he is only three years of age so his taste buds are more into sweet and delicious. he eats veggies but not this one. my wife saute it with eggs or sometimes puts it on fish recipe. yes its juice is very difficult to drink but it is very good for the body. we drink the juice of this if we have cough.

Actually,I didn't like it or even taste it in my younger days.Learning about the bitterness,I refused to try it at the least once.But,as I grow up,learning the medicinal values ,I started consuming it as a side dish.To my surprise,it is not so bitter as I thought and I like the taste a lot.

Hey I love this vegetable! I think this is my favorite. But there is only one recipe that I like. My mom used to make this for me all the time. Her recipe included some egg and small chopped pork. Sometimes she would substitute ground pork or shrimp for the cubed pork. I loved it so much, sometimed I'd eat it for breakfast!
