Bitter Gourd Curry with Coconut Milk

I saw ‘Bitter Gourd with Yogurt’ curry in Mallugirl’s blog and wanted to try it out.  I made a few changes to my liking and made this delectable ‘Bitter Gourd Curry with Coconut Milk’.  It was so tasty and quite easy to prepare.  Moreover, there was absolutely no bitterness at all!  So this curry is for all those who hate Bitter Gourd!

Ingredients

Bitter gourd1

Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds – 1/4 tsp

Dry red chillies – 2

Curry leaves -1 sprig

Onion – 1 medium sliced

Coriander powder – 1 tsp

Chilly powder – 3/4 tsp

Method
