Bitter Gourd is a popular summer vegetable known for its bitterness but it is a store house of antioxidants. It is packed with several important nutrients.
But when kids are asked to have bitter gourd they completely avoid it and keep nagging that it is bitter in taste.
So to convert kids from saying NO to YES for consuming bitter gourd , it is suggested to serve them MASALA BITTER GOURD.
This dry curry is so yummy that kids can hardly say no to bitter gourd and ask for again and again.
Kids can enjoy the benefits of this delicious dry curry with roti / plain paratha in breakfast.
