Bitter Gourd Fry

2 Tbsp Oil
4 Cups Bitter Gourd, Thinly Sliced (about thin 6 Bitter Gourds)

1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
1 Tsp Cumin Powder
2 Tsp Coriander Powder
1 Tsp Fennel Seeds
1/4 Tsp Garam Masala Powder
1/8 Tsp Asafoetida
3/4 Tsp Salt

Grind all the above to make powder in magic bullet. If you have fennel powder, you don't have to powder everything, since I had only fennel seeds, i powdered everything.

Heat oil in a pan, add sliced bitter gourd for 25 minutes in medium to low flame (I did 5 minutes in medium flame, 7 minutes in low and 10 minutes in medium flame and 3 minutes in high flame), slices should be lightly browned.

1 Tbsp Oil

Add the ground powders, oil, saute in low flame for 5 minutes and medium flame for 10 minutes, kept in high for 1 minute in the middle of frying.

Garnish with cilantro leaves.
