Bitter Gourd in English, Karela In Hindi, HagalKayi In Kannada, Pavakkai in the Tamil language, though it has innumerable health benefits, it is not liked by all. I have shared an interesting method to eat this bitter gourd, that is in the chips form. Even kids will have a handful of chips and never complain about its bitter taste. Not only during teatime, I sometimes have it with Sambar Sadham or Curd Rice too. If making in large batches, I suggest baking the chips for 10 mins for lasting crispiness.  Also, I have shared this Pavakkai Chips with step by step pics, a short youtube video and if you like it, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

Notes

Tips for Bitter Gourd Chips Recipe

  1. Use fresh/firm bitter gourd to get a tasty Pavakkai Chips. Don't use the one with yellow or pale coloured skin.
  2. Never squeeze the bitter gourd before mixing with spice powders, otherwise, the veggie leaves the water and the chips become soggy. 
  3. Also slice the bitter gourd evenly, not too thick or too thin, a medium thickness is enough.
  4. Adjust chilli and pepper powder as per spiciness required for this bitter gourd chips recipe.
  5. For more crispiness, pour 1 tbsp of hot oil to the chips mixture, before frying.
  6. Always fry the chips in medium-high heat, not low flame. Adjust the flame accordingly.
  7. If preparing in large batches, after the frying, I suggest baking the chips. The procedure is as follows - spread the chips in a tray and bake it for 10 mins at 170c in the preheated oven.
