I am not fond of Bitter Gourd (Karle) but it has many health benefits. Also my FIL has diabetes and bitter gourd supposedly helps with keeping sugar in check. So we regularly use bitter gourd in our meals and prepare dishes such as Karate sasam and shallow fried slices. Bitter Gourd Shallow Fry (Karlyache Kaap) is a simple to make shallow fried, spiced bitter gourd slices.
Some people soak these slices in salt water to remove bitterness. But per my MIL, it should be eaten as is so we skip this step. Rest of the recipe is very simple to make.
