I’m a Filipina and we call it AMPALAYA. Some cooked the way you did, squeezing or removed the juice with the salt but not for me because I didn’t want to throw the nutrients (from the juice). Tho’ we cooked in same way. Gardening is my favorite hobby and planting this Bitter Melon/Gourd is abundant in my backyard garden tru the bamboo stick trellis during Summer Season in Chicago, USA 🇺🇸 Thank you also for sharing.

THANK YOU, Mandy! I only knew of 2 of these recipes, so you've helped expand our menu! I've been experimenting with using Bitter Melon instead of Opo (and vice versa) - and found that Opo and Bitter Melon make a nice stir fry. ANYHOW - can't wait to try these new dishes (especially the beef with preserved radish mmmmmmm). You're awesome, Mandy! Thank you!

Omg I LOVE bitter melon, and all of these dishes look SO good! Thank you very much for sharing! Btw, I grew them a few years ago (live in Wisconsin, USA), three varieties... and I had SO many... both refrigerator drawers filled... I wish I had these recipes back then, but ended up dehydrating most of them. Very easy to grow.

Its called "Karella" in northern India. Plural is "Karelle". So the Trini name "Caraille" is just a carry over from the Indian name I guess.

I bet the bitter melon could work well (especially after the soak & squeeze) not just curried or stir-fried (otherwise known by such names as poriyal or thoran among other names), but also in a litany of other dishes such as in biryani/kongfan form, in samosas & dumplings, dal, sambars, chutneys, pickles, & a classic northeast Indian dish of pork with bamboo shoots, to name a few. In fact, I suspect that it would go just as well cooked with hing/asafoetida and/or mushrooms as with allium stuff especially in veg form, but also in non-veg cooking

@kth6736 4 месяца назад

@@tktyga77 its often cooked with raw mango powder to give it a bit of a bitter tang. And yes it is often picked along side lotus stem, raw mangos etc.

We call it a Ampalaya in the Philippines, has many good health benefits and one reason why I started eating it. I cook it with egg, ground pork and tomatoes together. Sometimes, I add to stir fry shrimp. We also add it to mung beans soup and Pinakbet, a vegetable dish with Squash, eggplant, green beans and stir fried with pork and shrimp.( very popular dish in the Philippines).

11:07 You can also add vinegar or a citrus juice to the water to further reduce the bitterness. Italians do this a lot with large eggplant or bitter greens before sauteing.

I've always loved bittermelon growing up. The more bitter, the better. In Ilocano we call it parya, & in Tagalog ampalaya. We also eat the tender leaves with the gourd in tinola (chicken in clear broth), mung bean stew, & pinakbet just to name a few. The blanched leaves are seasoned with fish sauce & added to tomatoes as a side dish.

We called it bitter gourd. I used to mix it with salt like what you have done but not anymore. I just cut it in half cm slices and cook fresh shrimps or dried shrimps with garlic. It taste less bitter without rubbing with salt and actually there is a taste of sweetness too! Sometimes I put egg like yours but most of the time without. 😍
