Which part of the US can we get Teppal from? KS? Ambika?

Hi Shilpa,

Great site. I need a clarification on one of the ingredients that are used in this recipe.

4-5 teppal (sichuan pepper) – Not able to identify what it is . Do you know the name of it in Telugu ? Where can I get this and by what name should I ask for it . I live in CA.

Shilpa: Its a very Konkani specific spice and I don’t think it is used anywhere else. I don’t think it is available in CA. So you can leave that out and make the recipe.

I love bitter gourd. I always buy Chinese bitter gourd which are less bitter,more tasty and larger in size. Some stores have them but you will certainly find these in Oriental/Chinese markets.I got your site when I was looking for Chattambode recipe. Thank you. You have a lot of useful information.

Hi Shilpa,
I stumbled on your web site sometime last week. It’s really awesome. I am amazed at how well you show the methods to preparing the food and also the pictures you include.

I have my blog at http://meerasubbarao.wordpress.com/ and want to include a link to your web page. Is it OK?

Cooking is my hobby, and I was planning on creating a web site, but once I saw yours, I was quite sure there need not be any other at all.

Once again, wonderful site. Love it.

Shilpa: Thanks for your kind words Meera. Yes you can include link.

My hubby is a big bittergourd fan. Eats it just boiled. Most of our cooking tries to keep the bitterness as it is.
Shall adapt this for my type of karela next
