Clean and cut bitter gourd into small pieces. Chop small onions, tomato and green chillies. Peel and cut mango. Cook everything together expect oil, curry leaves and mustard seeds in water enough to cover it. Cook and reduce water. Season with mustard seeds and curry leaves in oil.

    I thought we were friends, I really did... but you tease me with bittergourd, I thought okay, I can get that easily but then, you went and made a calamari post, now that is where you crossed the line :) I LOVE calamari but it is so darn expensive here.

    I haven't tried this b4, but iam sure it will taste good with the tartness of mango and bitterness of gourd.
