Bitter Gourd Fry ( Kakarakaya fry)

I am a picky eater. I used to not touch bitter gourd at all. But after marriage you cant cook only according to your tastes, so that is why i started making bitter gourd fry. Slowly i realized that it tastes gud with dal rice or sambar. Now a days I found myself adding bitter gourds to my shopping cart...:)
