Karela and Potato Pakoda (Bitter Gourd and Potato Chips)


The bitter gourd pakora goes very well with rasam and any kind of rice.Bitter gourd is cosidered as a good medicine for  diabetic patients.this also helps to cure blood disorders and eye problems.this contains more beta-carotene than broccoli,more calcium then spinach and more potassium than banana.Normally children don't like to eat bitter gourd,but these pakoda will be liked by all as there is hardly any bitter taste after cooking.

This recipe u can do any vegetables.
Ingredients:-



Bitter gourd /Karela  -4 nos
Potato-1 nos
Rice flour-2 to 3 tbsp
Red chillis powder- 1 tsp
sesame seeds-hand ful
Salt to taste

Heat the oil in frying pan on medium heat..When oil is hot put the karela pakodas in frying pan.Pakodas should sizzle.Fry the pakodas till they become gold in color all around,turn the pakodas a few times while
 frying.Fry few at a time till crispy.
