Bitter Gourd Gravy/Karela Pitlai /Pavakkai Pitlai

Among all the Bitter Gourd recipes, this Bitter Gourd Pitlai is a favorite dish for the whole family. I learnt this dish from my mother-in-law. Bitter Gourd has lot many health benefits. If you can make a tasty recipe from this vegetable, everyone will love it. It goes well with steamed rice.

Ingredients

Tur Dal (Pigeon Pea Lentil) – ½ cup

Bitter Gourd (Karela/Pavakai) – 2

Red Chilli Powder – ½ tsp

Sambar Powder – 1 tsp

Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp

Jaggery (Gud) – 2 tsp

Salt to taste

Tamarind – medium goose berry size (Soaked in ½ cup of water)

For Seasoning

Coconut Oil – 2 tbsp

Mustard Seed – ¾ tsp

Urad Dal – 1 tsp

Red Chilli – 2 (Broken)

Curry Leaves – from 2 twigs

Grated Coconut – 3 tbsp

Asafoetida – ¼ tsp

Method

Cook the Tur Dal in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and Haldi Powder for 4 to 5 whistle till the Dal becomes soft.

Cut the Bitter Gourd into medium thick rounds slices. Add 1 tsp of Salt to it, mix well and keep aside for 15 minutes. And then rinse them well. This will reduce the bitterness of the Bitter Gourd.
