Bitter gourd (Thumba Karavila) is a vegetable known for its bitter taste, which can be an acquired flavor. This Sri Lankan-style curry balances the bitterness with the use of spices, coconut milk, and a slight tanginess, making it a delicious and comforting dish to serve with rice.
Benefits of Sri Lankan Bitter Gourd Curry –
