Crispy karela (bitter gourd) in microwave


I wonder if I put on weight merely by taking in the smell of good food or even glancing at it!! So for all good reasons, here's something that I would like to share with anyone and everyone who likes bitter gourd.




Ingredients:

Bitter gourd thinly sliced - 1 cup
Chilli powder - 1 tbsp
Gram flour (besan) - 2 tbsp
Salt - as per taste
Hing (asafoetida) - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp

Mix all the ingredients together and keep aside for 10-15 minutes.

Place the slices in a single layer on a greased microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 6 minutes. Turn over the slices and once again microwave on high for 6 minutes. You can continue to microwave for a minute or two more if the slices are not crispy enough.
