Bitter gourd!!! No one likes Bitter gourd because of it's bitterness. As always, no one likes those things that good for our health. I still remember those days where mom used to cook 'Paavakkai Perattal' and forced us to eat it. Then, slowly she changed the recipe and made 'Paavakkai Poriyal' which we still hate it. Time flies and mom stopped cooking 'Paavakkai' at home. Or should I say that my sister take over the cooking task........ Whatever it is.......... now when I started to cook for the two of us, I used to do this Crispy Honeyed Bitter gourd at least once in a month. Don't think that I've started to love eating it. Actually, I 'll do this whenever I feel lazy to cook :P
