Crisp karela chips – Crispy fried bitter gourd chips/ karela kachri

Crisp Karela Chips/ karela kachri  – Bitter gourd is among the few vegetables which are very healthy but are disliked by most of the people.

Bitter gourd is a very healthy vegetable and is popular in Asian countries. It has been used to treat diabetics,purify the blood, good for the patients suffering from piles. Also good for stomach, aids weight loss,boost immunity and much much more.
It has numerous health benefits,it detoxes the blood,helps in diabetes as it controls the blood sugar level. But as Me and my family like karela so I often use it during the season. Personally I like stuffed karela the most . But my family don’t like too much spices so I often try different recipes to make with bitter gourd/ karela.

    @Thank you Nitasha!Addition of sugar reduced some bitterness but it didn't taste sweet

    Your blog is fantastic for a South Indian like me to learn about North Indian meals.Just one question…Will the sugar make it taste sweet ?Or will the bitterness remain?
