Bittergourd - Tomato Curry (Kakarakaya Tomato Koora)

This bittergourd tomato curry is my favorite dish. I love this combo very much. This is very healthy and low calorie recipe, mainly for diabetic patients. I used to prepare fry and stuffed verities with bittergourd. Here is my recipe:


Kakarakaya Tomato Koora:
Prep : 30mts
Cooking time: 45mts
Cuisine : Andhra

Ingredients:
4 tender bittergourds (cut each into 4 pieces, soak them in salt water for 1hr,
drain and cut them length wise, keep aside)
3 tbsp oil
1 chopped big onion (cut length wise as bittergourd pieces)
a pinch of turmeric powder
2 medium sized chopped tomatoes
1.5 tsp red chilli powder
salt as per taste

Method:
1. Heat oil in thick bottom vessel, add chopped bittergourd pieces, covered, stirring, fry till light golden color(it may take minimum 20mts) on low flame.



2. Add chopped onions, fry till light golden color on low flame.


3. Add turmeric powder and tomatoes, mix, covered, cook for 5 minutes, add red chilli powder and salt, mix, covered, cook till tomatoes smashed and completely dry. Turn off the heat.

4. It goes very well with hot steamed rice.


Note: 1. Take care about to cook till dry content, then only we can use this curry for more than 7 days (after 1 day, keep in freezer).
