Bittergourd without the bitterness

This is my innovative recipe using Bittergourd. Tried making this and was surprised to see all in my family finishing the plate with the same speed as when we serve other sabjis.
Without compromising on the nutrional and medicinal values of  bittergourd we can cook this vegetable in some different ways still making it an yummiest one. I will share few of my innovative recipes using bittergourd here

This is a very easy to make. .

Ingredient required

Carrot -1
Beetroot -1
Big onion -1
Bitter courd -2
Chop all the vegetables to fine bits. Can add a potato also (for potato lovers)
Slit green chillies - 4-5 nos
A pinch of turmeric
Curry leaves - few
Salt and oil as required

Very few ingredients and little masalas na?? Yes.. and am sure this is going to rock your table. And Bitter gourd will be the next preferred item in your list.



Method.

In a pan heat some oil. Add the bittergourd first and saute for few seconds or till it is soft.

(Remember if you chop it to fine bits the dish will be done very easily. Or if you want to chop it bigger then cook all of them together in little water for few minutes and after evaporating the water completely saute in oil.)
Later add the other vegetables one by one. Please note add onion in the last after adding and sauting beetroot and carrot or else it will burn and give a blackish appearance. Finally add green chillies and curry leaves. Add salt and a pinch of turmeric now. Saute for few more seconds till everything is cooked well. Serve with Rice.
