I usually saute thinly cut small pieces of करेला in oil after tempering with mustard and little uraddal when the karelapieces are little cooked I add thick tamarind extract Salt turmericpowder Allow the mixture to boil so that raw smell of tamarind goes Now I add rasampowder। jaggery and allow तो boil further so that a thick gravy is cooked। Last I add little roasted and powdered till। You have taught me the easy tasty method of hagalkai gojju tnx। pudinarasam something very new to try your rasam looks सो tempting to drink itself,

Aunty I like your recipes they are very easy to understand. I also like your cute and simple cookware. Also I highly appreciate the oil content you use as u use according to the amount of recipe. Which at least most of the elderly in house miss and thats not right. Its not just taste but health also important.

Thanks Gita JI for your wonderful dishes you shared with us on your KZbin channel . I am North Indian but I love south India food. By watching your channel I started making these dishes at my home . So keep sharing these lovely dishes . I had one question that What type of imli you used whether it is seedless or with seed . This always makes confusion for me .

[@GitasKitchen]

You can use any one. When we soak imli to extract juice the seeds come out easily
