Bitter Gourd Curry (Using Maggi Coconut Milk Powder & Rasamusu)

(0)

Challenging
This is a dish that I learnt from my Mum when I was growing up in Sri Lanka. Bitter gourd curry was not my favourite dish to eat, but after eating this I started to love making it whenever I buy bitter gourd. Many home cooks or someone learning to cook are reluctant to prepare bitter gourd because of the bitterness of the vegetable. But if you try to make this version you will enjoy eating it. The bitter gourd will be fried and then cooked in creamy coconut base.
