T Tuesday Bitter melon

I kept the Achacha seeds and skin from a previous weeks post and dried it in the sun, hopefully we can plant the seeds and I wanted to experiment with the skin to see if I can make tea with it like my Bael Tea which I will show you another time.

To the right is Bitter Melon, also known as karela, very good for cancer and diabetes and other ailments. I was told to salt it and rinse the salt off to take the bittterness out of it. It worked but the salt cooked my gourd and it shrunk to half its size.

I cut it up as small as I could and put it into a beef stir fry. But the first mouthful I could taste the bitter melon so I added my mango kuchela to it and that did the trick LOL.
