I have seen mom using citron in a pachadi which we call as narthangai pachadi. She chops the skin as well in that. I decided to treat the bitter gourd just like it and make a sweet, sour and spicy pachadi. When i made it and tasted it, it was delicious. So yummy.Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.Similar Recipes,
