Paavakka (Bitter Guard) Fry

Bitter guard is not always bitter. Why don't you try this one to prove it :)


Ingredients:

Bitter Guard - 3 large
Oil - to fry
Roasted gram (pottu kadalai) - 2 tbsp
Red chillies - 2

Garlic - 4 pods
Salt - to taste

Method:

Grind red chillies, roasted gram, garlic and salt finely together and keep it aside. Now dice bitter guard into very small pieces and shallow fry it in oil. Onc
e it turns brown and crisp, take it out and dry it using a tissue. Now mix the ground powder and the fried bitter guard together. Done with paavakka fry. Its a very simple dish yet tasty.

This fry goes well with curd rice. Frying removes the bitter taste in it, so apdiye sapdalam :) kids will love it. Happy eating :)
