This small variety of Bitter Gourd is said to be good for sugar patients (diabetics) and also the tastier one when compared to the bigger variety.

They can be chopped and fried in oil to get a tastier side dish. Some use in Kara Kuzhanbu which adds taste to the gravy. This variety is less bitter and delicious when compared to the bigger variety.

Jumbo Brinjal - Gundu Kathirika

Hi it would be fun to call some one as Gundu Kathirika meaning Jumbo Brinjal ...

Want to see the real Jumbo one. Here it is...

We bought them at Koyambedu Market, Chennai, where we can get fresh vegetables. Koyambedu is the biggest vegetable market in Chennai.

We burnt the outer skin of brinjal and removed the outer skin just by peeling out by hand. Next the Brinjal was chopped and fried with masala, onion and other ingredients. This is an excellent Side Dish for rice with sambar or any Veg food. 

Also this brinjal can be used for Gravy recipe with Chicken and Mutton Briyani.
