bitter gourd sabji /karela sabji/kaipekia upperi

Bitter gourd sabji is made by very few people because of its bitterness. It is for this reason, that I tried this sabji with jaggery in it. Now I do make it often. In my opinion combination of menus makes the lunch or dinner perfect. I always make this as a side dish & goes well with main dish of Saambar/Dal/Palak Dal /yellow or white pumpkin or even with curd curry.
