Cooking @ 40 🤭-- Achievement Unlocked 🤫. Btw, I'm new with cooking. For 40 years i've never able tried to cook any dish only fried or instant foods for meal. With my husband and daughter, we just moved in our own house last October 2024. My Ate's partial dream for me is to learn how to cook for my own family. With her guidance in giving me recipes I am still in the hang of getting use to with the process and measurements of cooking tastefull healthy delicious meals. One of my goal is to discover and learn more recipes and explore new recipes and techniques for mysef and loved ones.

I am so excited about this recipe! I am also so amazed that it's your daughter's favorite vegetable! When we were young we used to run away from bitter gourd although our grandma insisted we eat it as it's so good for health. Now I like it. Thanks for the recipe!
