Tanya Atapattu – Things My Mother told Me

 

Karela

I am not a fan of cooking. But I recently tried something and I want to recommend it to you.

In the Obor Marketplace, there is an Indian shop (on the first floor of the building where fruits and vegetables are sold). We were intrigued by these fruits. Later, I was to find out that there are actually vegetables, so we bought some to try.

I cooked karela and I really enjoyed it. It is true, it has a bitterness to which we are not accustomed but it's worth it. I followed this recipe and I recommend you give it a go.

I did not use mango or mango powder, but the red onion and the tomato blend beautifully and they cover with their sweetness the bitterness of karela.
