This recipe is my mom's special recipe which she taught me. It is a simple but utterly delicious combination of bittergourd or karela stir fry with added crunch of cashews and spices. The result is amazing!My humble effort to recreate her recipe.
Karela is a blessing for diabetic and obese patients as it reduces sugar levels, builds insuline tolerance and helps to reduce cholesterol. Cashews provide immunity boosters and antioxidants along with magnesium, zinc and sodium.
