STUFFED BITTERGOURD

 I always make my children eat vegetables, telling them the nutrition value about  any veg they eat...Children hate bitter taste of any veg. ,and my daughter never tasted this vegetable. When i prepared this stuffed karela, I requested her to have a small bite. Believe me she had the whole one without any reluctance... Hope u also love this .....
