    Tried this recipe on a whim, since I had never tried bitter gourd and found some in the Indian market. The name says it all, bitter. This recipe turned out delicious though, I used canned coconut milk and a little extra jaggery, as well as significantly less peppers so my kids would eat it, and they did! The sauce was amazing, I am not sure I love bitter gourd though.
