Coming To the Topic..I enjoyed playing with these Bitter Gourd's last Sunday. I have tasted this Dish in a restaurant in Bangalore. From then i was thinking to try..but i could'nt. when pooja announced Bitter Gourd as the Vegetable of the Week..i Jumped into the pool.
Here Displaying with what I played and had a Good Time and Good Lunch:)
2 Bitter Gourd's Cutted into pieces
With a knife i deseeded them leaving the bottom part to look like a basket..
One more view of my Bitter Gourd Basket(BGB)
Now I want you all to participate in the game..what all could be stuffed inside this Bitter Gourd Basket?
may be potato or paneer stuffing
ReplyDeletePaneer is a different idea..thanks sagari.
ReplyDeletemixed vegetable or fried seeds of bitter gourd and onions?
ReplyDeletePotatoes definetely
ReplyDeleteHow about sprouts .. it will be different ...
ReplyDeleteDhivya superb..i take up mixed vegetable.
ReplyDeleteEC..You are very determined in potatoes. that is my choice too.
Kamalika..Sprouts is another different idea. they can be crushed and stuffed. sealing them with besan flour and frying them..will end up in crispy top cover for the Basket.
may be potato, paneer, and capsicum with besan..
ReplyDeletei usually boil this BGB in salt water and stuff them with ground paste of onion,ginger,garlic,gram flour,spices,fennel seeds and shallow fry them..goes well with chapatis..
ReplyDeleteHow about baking the bittergourd baskets and then filling it up with some sweet chutney, spicy chutney, potatoes, sev and chaat masala??? I guess it could be called bittergourd bhel puri......
ReplyDeleteground coconut with spices :)
ReplyDeletesmn..all veggies will be adding up taste.
