Bitter Gourd Fry is a flavorful dish native to South Asian cuisine, especially popular in Indian kitchens. Made by slicing bitter gourd (also called karela) and sautéing it with aromatic spices such as turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and sometimes onion or garlic, this dish offers a unique combination of earthy and bitter flavors. The gourd itself is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and has been traditionally valued for its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels. Bitter Gourd Fry is typically pan-fried, which enhances its taste but may increase calorie content depending on the amount and type of oil used. While packed with nutrients, the inherent bitterness might be a consideration for some. Many cooks balance this bitterness by salting the gourd or adding a touch of sweetness. Overall, it's a nutrient-dense side dish that pairs well with a balanced meal of rice or flatbreads.
