Wow! This is so mouthwatering! I like bitter gourd, not because my mother told me it's healthy, but I just love its bitter taste. It could be that my taste buds get used to it. I remember when I was a kid, we had a lot of bitter gourd plants in our backyard, and I used to eat their fruits raw. I just couldn't explain it, but the bitterness matched with its juiciness had been so addictive for me. Now, aside from the sauteed one, I also love eating bitter gourd salad - just add lemon juice, pepper, salt, onions, tomatoes, and sugar to the thinly sliced raw bitter gourd and you're good to go! 😊💚 Happy cooking!
