Pavakkai ( Bitter Gourd or Bitter Melon) Pavakkai ( - TopicsExpress

Pavakkai ( Bitter Gourd or Bitter Melon) Pavakkai ( Bitter Gourd or Bitter Melon), known as “Karela” in Hindi, belongs to the gourd family along with pumpkins and watermelons. It contains high amounts of vitamins and minerals and is very low in cholesterol and saturated fats. This vegetable is available all over India in all seasons, but the preparation styles differ from state to state. Here I give you my recipe for making pavakkai curry in the Tamil Nadu style. Servings: 5 Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: Pavakkai: 2 medium size, approximately 200 grams weight Shallot(small Onion): 75 grams (about 15) Cloves garlic: 6 Tomato: 1 Red chili powder: 1.5 teaspoons Coriander Powder: 1.5 teaspoons Coconut gratings: 1/2 cup Mustard seeds: 1/2 teaspoon Fenugreek: 1/2 teaspoon Tamarind: A small lime sized piece Salt: 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder: 1/2 teaspoon Oil: 3 tablespoons Curry leaves:1 or 2 sprigs Method: Wash and cut pavakkai horizontally into discs. Chop 5 shallots and one tomato. Squeeze tamarind pulp adding some water to it. Heat a vessel with one tablespoon of oil and fry the 10 remaining shallots along with the cut tomatoes and 3 cloves of garlic for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add red chili powder, coriander powder and the grated coconut and saute for a couple of minutes. Allow the fried ingredients to cool and then make into smooth paste in a blender. In the same frying pan, add two tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, then fenugreek and then the chopped onion. Then add 3 cloves of garlic along with the curry leaves. Next, add the sliced pavakkai pieces and fry for 10 minutes. Then add the turmeric powder. Stir often so that the vegetable is cooked evenly. When the vegetable is almost cooked, add the ground paste with salt, tamarind pulp and two cups of water. Allow this to simmer till the curry thickens to your required consistency. Tips: You can make the same style curry with other vegetables like drumstick (murungaikai) or Brinjal instead of pavakkai.
