Kaipakka /Pavakka Kitchadi


By Adukala Vishesham (Visit website)



As we are getting ready for Vishu which marks the beginning of a new year in Kerala, we are adding some more recipes to our sadya collection. Though bitter gourd is not a friendly dish to many palettes, this recipe is definitely worth trying. We also have another variation made with okra/vendakka.

Prep time: 15-20 mins
Ingredients

Bitter gourd/Chinese Bitter melon: 1
Green Chilies (chopped): 2
Ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
Grated Coconut: 1/4 cup
Curd: 1/2 cup
Mustard: 2 teaspoons
Dried Red chilies: 2-3
Curry Leaves: 1 sprig
Oil to fry

Finely chop the bitter gourd and green chillies. Heat enough oil to deep fry the chopped bitter gourd along with the chillies. When its almost brown take it off from the oil and keep aside.

Grind grated coconut, ginger and mustard seeds to a fine paste. Mix the curd to this paste. Give one final run in the mixer if you want. Add the fried bitter gourd to this and nicely mix. For seasoning heat some oil, splutter mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chillies. Add the seasoning to the curd mix and keep it on low heat for exactly 2 minutes.
