    The recipe looks really enticing, the much, “dreaded,” Karela has got a makeover. Of course, it is such a healthy vegetable, but you have infused a lot of taste and flavour into it.

  2. Since visiting Greece last year, we’ve been trying to make at-home kebabs but always have failed. Hopefully with this kind of kebab, we can get back our tastes buds back to Europe and have kebabs again!

  3. Nice

    It is very tough to make my kids eat bitter gourd. But i think this a smart way of making them eat it without fuss.
