Bitter gourd (Melons)/ Karela baked chips
About:
Spicy, tangy and healthy munchies. Bitter melons are considered as healthy vegetable but just because of its bitterness many tend to avoid it. This way of baking and consuming them makes it healthy with a snack to enjoy with a unique taste. This can be served as a snack/appetizer.
I was inspired by Malar’s Baked Karela.. Thanks Malar…I tried with few variations and it turned out well without the feel of any bitterness…
