I have harvested fresh bitter gourd from my green patch and I wanted to use them as fresh as possible.
So, the result is this dal. If you like methi leaves and bitter gourd, this is a must try dish. It surprisingly tasted really great and pairs really well with hot rice as well as Whole wheat roti.
In this recipe, I did two seasonings. At initial stage of cooking as well as at the end stage.
