PAAVAKAAI PACHADI

A special dish prepared in kerala during onam.I rarely cook bittergourd in my food as many.But when I came to know about this receipe I never thought it would taste good.Beieve me it was really good.The coconut paste along with bittergourd made the dish amazing.
I also added little jaggery to it to reduce bitter taste and it really worked.
