Once this Subzi was listed in totally non favourite but we became wise with time and started rotating all Subzis. Finally I started making this dish. It is still not everyone's favourite but all started to eat it. I'm not trying to remove bitterness of karela, just blending with other ingredients.

I love cooking especially for my son. He is the one who gives me his opinion on every dish. I am eager to learn dishes from other states. I'm more interested in authentic and traditional recipes rather than just fusion and decorations. I love simple, authentic and realistic recipes.Follow me on Instagramdarshana_me
