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. Once 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 :)
