Baby Bittergourd Fry/Midhi Pavakka Poriyal/Kuruvi Thala Pavakkai Poriyal

You might have already cooked with bittergourd atleast once in your life, though this gourd is bitter in taste they are super healthy and highly recommended for diabetic peoples.We get bittergourd in Indian groceries but i have never seen baby bittergourd here. But i got a chance to cook with baby bittergourds during my stay in India.Trust me a kg of this baby bittergourd costs just Rs 15 which i bought from a grandma who never fails to sell her homegrown veggies in market. I have became her client and never failed to get her super tender fresh vegetables whenever i go to Pondicherry farmer's market, seriously i miss those fresh produce here. Coming to my today's post, this baby bittergourd fry was in my to do list since ages and finally i prepared some during my stay in India,though this cute lil babygourds are super bitter i simply loved them and enjoyed thoroughly with some rice and papads. If you are like me, am sure you will definitely enjoy this better bitter gourd poriyal without any fuss.
