I didn't eat bittergourd when I was young. I started to like it recently. Last time I heard people saying, it's nice coz it's bitter, now I totally understand this. Although I find it really bitter, I enjoy eating it. When it's not bitter, it's not really nice to eat. ^_^ How about you? Do you like to eat bittergourd?

i am indian and we prepare many curries with it and we prepare snacks also with it . there will be no bitterness in it after preparing any item . i don;t like bitterness in it .so i will prepare curries with indian style without bitterness . in one type of bitterguard curry, i first cook bitterguard (whole) with buttermilk 1 cup and turmeric 1 spoon and then i squeeze water in it and make pieces with removing seeds in it and i will fry those pieces in hot oil till they become brown colour .then i make curry with it. now i take 2,3 spoons oil and in it i add tadka,curry leaves, and add onion pieces and fry them. then i add fried bitterguard pieces,and fry in this for 3,4 minutes and add red chilli powder and salt and add besan 2,3 spoons and fry for 1 minute and remove.we can also add indian masala powder in it if we want. and we can make many curries with it in indian style. by squeezing water and by frying in hot oil and by adding besan(bengal gram powder), there will no bitterness in it. otherwise there will be more bitterness in it. so i hate to eat bitterness .but i can make curries without bitter and can eat .

Hi there, thanks for your response. Yeah, I tried some Indian food before, and I like eating the frying bittergourd, it's nice to eat and it's crunchy.

I don't eat bitter gourd. For as long as I can remember I don't eat it and I don't think I'll ever will. Which is really surprising because everyone in my family eat it. My mother can cook a variety of dishes using it but I always find myself picking my food and making sure i never get to eat even a morsel of it.
