Scrape the surface: The rough, ridged outer skin of the bitter gourd concentrates a lot of the bitterness.
Deseed it: Slice the bitter gourd open lengthwise and scoop out the white, spongey core and seeds with a spoon.
Salt it: Soaking or rubbing the bitter gourd pieces with salt draws out some of the bitter juices.
Blanch it: Soak bitter gourd pieces in boiling water for a minute or two. This helps to deactivate some of the bitter compounds.
Use strong flavors: Bitter gourd pairs well with bold flavors that can help mask some of the bitterness.
Add a touch of sweetness: A hint of sweetness can help balance the bitterness.
Yogurt marinade: Marinating bitter gourd pieces in yogurt for 30 minutes to an hour can help tenderize them and reduce bitterness.
