Hate Bitter Gourd? Taste Pavakka Paal – Bitter gourd in Coconut Milk Curry, you never say NO to bitter gourd again!
I’m always excited to find new unique ways to prepare Bitter gourd-Kaipakka-Pavakka since it’s my hubby’s favourite. And I must say, this is definitely a wonderful recipe, coz first and most importantly, it tastes delicious no bitterness.
The coconut milk combined with spices gives it a really interesting flavor that is very different from regular bittergourd curry. As you all know this veggie bitter gourd is a natural cure for diabetics and good for treating intestinal worms plus it’s has fewer calories and it is rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins.
Ever since I started making this pavakka paal curry, I have tried Lissie chechi recipe from Salt and Spice. I have tried this so many times and every time it turned out so well. I’ve been meaning to make this post for long time and when I wanted to share this recipe with a friend, I decided I should finally just blog it for you all!

Hi Sangeetha ,
I would never say NO to bittergourd ( “Kaipakka Pal Curry”), as long as it’s alluring in disguise. Courtesy: God’s own country way of treating food 😉
MMmmm… mussels may look unattractive, but not when they’re “Kallummakaya Nirachathu”. Learning that they make the center stage, I couldn’t help keeping my hands off them.
