My mom used to make Bitter Gourd this way for a change !
Sometimes with cabbage, sometimes with radish, sometimes with boiled potatoes, in boiled potato you can add other veggies too along with it like cucumber, carrot and peas.
She loved making various kinds of Achhaar Chutney, Papad etc. which would go great as a side dish with simple Rice, Roti, Dal etc.
