Bitter Gourd Chips / Karele Ka Chips

Bitter Gourd Chips / Karele Ka Chips

As we all know, many of us don't like bitter gourd or karela / pavakkai because of its bitter taste. I tried preparing bitter gourd chips in Airfryer, which came out really well and I store them in air tight container for a week or for 10 days.

You can even deep fry bitter gourd chips on a medium hot oil, but to make it healthier I used my Airfrier.
We need to select broad and long bitter gourd, so that you will get broad rings and to get  more quantity of chips.
Ingredients:

Bitter Gourd - 1 large
Gram flour / Besan - 1 tablespoon
Rice flour - 1 tablespoon
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
Jeera / Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

# Wash bitter gourd and cut into round slices, mix little salt  and leave it for 5-10 min.
# Squize the bitter gourd juice.

# Mix all dry ingredients together.

# Mix the dry ingredients with bitter gourd slices. Sprinkle little water and mix....it should not be like baji..

# Preheat Airfrier @ 200'c for 5 min.

# Fry bitter gourd in Airfryer @ 200'c for 15 min. Inbetween brush oil and again fry.

Bitter Gourd chips are ready to serve.
