Bittergourd is avoided by many people only because of its bitterness. In some part of India , many like to savour the bitter gourd leaves cutlet. it's very yummy and delicious if cooked in proper way. Karela or bitter gourd has many medicinal properties.

I have Karela plants in my village garden. I plucked some leaves and made the Cutlets. The preparation is simple and the taste is awesome. This recipe doesn't need much masala. The smell and taste of fresh karela leaves make the cutlets tasteful.
