My version of Karela chips

You got it right. It's Karela, meaning Bitter gourd, chips. Not Kerala chips.

Even though the latter is a tastier variety, even this tastes awesome if you have the penchant for bittersweet delicacies.

*NOTE- these recipes need not be unique to me. These are everyday recipes with a few moderations I've made. If someone has thought of similar ideas, I claim on knowledge of it.

7. Karela chips.

You will need:
~ 1 bitter gourd deseeded and sliced into roundels.
~ 2 tbsp corn flour
~ 1 tsp grated jaggery
~ 5-6 curry leaves
~ 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
~ salt to taste
~ oil for deep fry

Things to do:
+ smear a little salt and chilly powder over the roundels and keep aside for 10-12 mins. It will remove excess bitterness from the gourd.
+ make a paste of the remaining ingredients except oil.
+ squeeze excess water lightly from the roundels and coat the paste all over the roundels. 
+ deep fry immediately. Serve hot with any sauce of your choice.
