Karavila(bitter gourd) with Eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Trim away the two pointed ends of the Karavila and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the pale, seeded section with a spoon and discard it. Cut the darker green outer shells crosswise, at a slight diagonal, into 1/4 inch wide strips. Prepare a solution of 2 cups water and 1 tbsp salt in a bowl. Put the Karavila strips into this bowl and set aside for 2 hours. Drain the Karavila and rinse the strips under running water. Drain again and pat dry. Cut the scallion into 2 inch lengths and then cut each section lengthwise into thin strips. Peel the onions and cut them in half lengthwise; then slice them into fine half rings. Heat the oil in a skillet over a medium flame. When hot, put in the garlic, fry until garlic is light brown. Add the onions. Stir and fry for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes. Stir and fry 2 minutes. Add Karavila, turn down the heat. Stir occasionally and fry around 10 minutes or until Karavila is tender. Stir in beated eggs and the salt. Stir and cook as you would scrambled eggs until eggs have reached a consistency you like. Remove from heat, add scallion strips and serve. [ Back ] http://infolanka.com/recipes/mess3/8.html
