Fried bitter ground salad (karavila salad)




Hi how are you everyone? it's been a while I didn't write a post.. Now I come back and bring something fresh for you guys. Do you know bitter ground? have you tried before? It is a tropical and sub tropical vine of the family cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, Africa and Caribbean for its edible fruit, which is among the most bitter of all fruits. Bitter ground contains vitamin C, carotene, and calium. Can lower blood sugar levels, dysentery, fevers, against cancer cell and many more benefits. This fruit should not consume excessive, especially for pregnant women. The experiment conducted, giving bitter ground juice can cause miscarriage.

In indonesia we called pare or paria. The most popular way is sauteed. I like to try something different this time. I get sri lankan recipe they called karavila sambol. Sri lankan people serve karavila sambol with rice and curry dishes.
