Take a vessel, add sliced bitter melon to it. Add water and salt.

Boil it nearly 10- 15 minutes on a medium flame and drain it. Bitter melon should get cooked. This procedure is to reduce the bitterness.

Take a manchatti or clay pot and add the cooked bitter melon, sliced green chili, crushed ginger, sliced shallots, salt to taste, and tamarind water. Close the clay pot with a lid , first cook on a medium flame, and then on a low flame.

Then add grated coconut and mix everything nicely.

Finally, add 1 tsp coconut oil and curry leaves.
