Karela Curry
Bitter melon is one of my favourites. But you need to prepare it properly. Kevin’s mom when she found out I love bitter melon invited me home and made this for me… THANK YOU!
Preparing Bitter Melon (Karela)
- Cut in half and remove white inner
- Slice in half moons place in water and squeeze slices and strain
- Place in water with salt and pressure cook for 4 whistles
- Strain and save the water to drink later this is good if you have diabetes* side note from mom 🙂
