Product Details

Karela (Bitter Gourd) (Paavakkai) – Bitter & Nutritious

Karela, also known as Bitter Gourd or Paavakkai, is a traditional Indian vegetable valued for its distinctive bitter taste and nutritional benefits. Carefully selected for freshness and quality, this vegetable is widely used in Indian households for everyday cooking.

Commonly prepared as stir-fries, stuffed karela, curries, and fry dishes, bitter gourd pairs well with spices that balance its natural bitterness. When cooked properly, it delivers a unique flavour that is both bold and satisfying.
