Achari Bharwa Karela (Stuffed Bitter Gourd)

Stuffed Bitter Gourd. Last year i had cooked achari bharwa bhindi by using my MIL's pickle and tried to use the same ingredients in bitter gourd and it turned out equally tasty. Though the stuffed bitter gourd may retain some of the bitterness, but it is sure to be relished with roti and rice too. I always prefer baby bitter gourd because in that bitterness is very less and it taste good..
