Bitter gourd/Karela is one of my most favourite vegetable. I can eat anything made using bitter gourd at any time. Bitter gourd chutney is one such recipe which I make since so many years.

But since couple of years I’m also making bitter gourd chutney by adding a good amount of rather equal amount of sour mango and I say bitter gourd and sour mango together makes to a very tasty combination

Pair this chutney along with any kind of flat bread or Poori or stuffed paratha etc, but I like to consume this yummy tasty chutney mixed with steaming hot rice or curd rice
