Sautéed Bitter gourd
You will need:
1 medium bitter gourd, trimmed, cut into half, deseeded and sliced thinly
1 tsp recommended spice mix
1-2 tablespoons ghee
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tablespoon fresh yogurt
Rock salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Blanch the bitter gourd slices in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes. Drain.
In a large pan or wok, heat the ghee till it is clear.
Toss in the cumin seeds and stir briefly, being careful not to burn the seeds.
Add the bitter gourd, yogurt, spice mix and salt, mix well and sauté for about 5 minutes, till the gourd is fork tender.
Remove from heat, garnish with the cilantro and serve hot with flatbreads or a grain of your choice.
(Serves 2 as a side-dish)
