Karela Masala / Bitter Gourd Curry

Slice Bitter gourd thinly, sprinke 2 tablespoons of salt, mix thoroughly and keep it aside for 2 hours. Now squeeze them thoroughly and wash under running tap water for 2 to 3 times. This removes the bitterness of the gourd to most extent.Heat oil in a pan sauté onions, tomatoes and ginger garlic paste until they are well cooked. Now add bittergourd, rest of the masalas, add 2 cups of water and cook on medium flame until the gourds are well cooked. Add salt and yoghurt, cook on low flame for few more minutes until the gravy thickens. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rotis !!!
