Also, my mother used to make these at home but we used small karelas which she then used to stuff with some masala powder.....gotta get the recipe tho! Thanks for this tho! Maa ki yaad aagayi!

You can try applying turmeric in the bitter guard instead of salt. My mother would apply turmeric. I've never tried applying salt so I dont know how it tastes but turmeric reduces the bitterness. You can try that and let me know if it makes any difference. Hey Shilpa, Nice recipes!! You can try applying turmeric in the bitter guard instead of salt. My mother would apply turmeric.

You should try the recipe with stuffed ground beef it is beter in taste (I made my friends try it without them knowing what a bitter groud was! they loved the taste!) hi

It is so good that even my kids eat it. It is not bitter.add the chillie powder only 5minutes before you are going to remove from fire.please give me your feedback. Hi friends,
