Bittergourd crisps

Yet another family favorite.As I had mentioned in my post on Bitter gourd stir fry ,we love this vegetable so much that I always have a couple of these in stock.Whenever hubby wants two vegetable curries with lunch,this is the easiest to prepare.

Even though it is a deep fried curry,we just cant stop eating them!!!

You need:

Bittergourd -1
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder to taste
Oil for deep frying

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Meanwhile wash,pat dry and slice the bittergourd into thin circles.It there are seeds remove them .
   
3. When the oil is hot,fry them in batches till brown.
4. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon onto a bowl lined with a paper towel.
5. When the whole lot has been fried,transfer them to bowl and sprinkle salt and red chilli powder.
6. Toss and serve.

Sometimes we finish this off first,even before we start the meal coz they are so irresistibly!!!
