How to Use
Indian Bittermelon can be prepared in various ways to suit your preference. Wash thoroughly, trim the ends, and you can slice it directly or scrape the skin lightly if desired. To reduce bitterness, you can salt the sliced bitter melon and let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then squeeze out the excess liquid before cooking. It's excellent in stir-fries (Karela Sabzi), stuffed with spices, or added to curries. Its distinct flavor pairs wonderfully with other vegetables and spices.
