Ingredients
- Bitter gourd / Pavakkai – 5
- Sambar powder – ½ tbsp.
- Chilli powder – ½ tbsp. ( or just use any one – chilli powder or sambar powder)
- Rice flour – 4 tbsp
- Turmeric powder– ¼ tsp
- Salt – 1 tbsp
- Water – 1 tbsp( approx..)
- Oil – For deep frying
Instructions
- Wash and remove the ends of the bitter gourd. Slice and thin evenly the bitter gourd, so that we can cook them evenly.
- Add the rice flour, turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt and water to the chopped bitter gourd.Mix well and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan and when it is hot, add the sliced bitter gourd evenly like in a sprinkled way. Do not crowd the pan as it may reduce the heat of the oil and make the bittergourd oily and not crispy. Cook in medium to high flame until the bitter gourd turns golden brown. Turn it and when both sides are golden brown, drain in kitchen tissue.
Notes
1. Do not fry in low heat or high heat, frying in medium flame will get them cook evenly and will make them crispy.
2. Do not add more water; bitter gourd will ooze out some water too. The water is just to make the rice flour stick to the veggie.
