Bitter Gourd Poriyal is a nutritious South Indian side dish made by stir-frying thin slices of bitter gourd with coconut, curry leaves, mustard seeds, and aromatic spices. Often tempered with onions and dried chilies, the dish balances the natural bitterness of the gourd with savory and mildly spiced flavors. Bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon, is renowned for its health benefits, including its potential to regulate blood sugar levels, support digestion, and enhance immunity due to its rich vitamin and antioxidant content. Traditionally cooked in minimal oil, this dish is lower in calories and ideal for those seeking healthy meal options. However, some recipes may incorporate more oil or sugar to minimize bitterness, which can affect its caloric and nutritional profile. A staple in Indian cuisine, Bitter Gourd Poriyal offers a blend of taste and wellness in every bite.
