South Indian, Tamilnadu style Bitter gourd masala curry for rice / Pavakkai masala poriyal without coconut was my recent try using bitter gourd. Usually I make pavakkai pitlai or pavakkai poriyal with coconut in my MIL’s style. For a change, I tried this bitter gourd masala curry adding spice powders and garam masala powders. I made it easily using my pressure cooker. It came out very well and finger licking good with its own slight bitter taste. Sendhil who is not a big fan of this veggie liked this bitter gourd curry and had it without any complaints. If you are a fan of bitter gourd like me, you must try this Pavakkai masala poriyal. You will love it for sure. It is a good side dish for sambar and curd rice. If you want to make bitter gourd curry without bitterness, you should thinly slice the bitter gourd, remove the seeds. Soak in sour curd or buttermilk, salt for 20 minutes and squeeze it before cooking like I did in my bitter gourd biryani recipe. But I won’t recommend this step for this poriyal as the nutrition of this vegetable will be lost. So what I do is, I slice the bitter gourd thinly. I add more tamarind and jaggery to reduce the bitterness. It works well. Friends, lets see how to make this Tamilnadu style Pavakkai masala poriyal with step by step pictures.
