Hello Everyone! Welcome back to Bapamas Kitchen – It’s been a while since I’ve posed anything – Really sorry about that, was very caught up, but now, I’ve finally had some breakthroughs and a lot of free time on my hands and so, In today’s video, Bapama will teach us how to make a traditional GSB Konkani delicacy, the super tasty Karate Kismuri!
This humble yet incredibly flavorful bittergourd dish is made in three stages:
🥒 Fried bittergourd cubes | crispy and delicious enough to eat on their own with lunch
🥥 Karate Chutney | made by mixing the fried bittergourd with a coconut masala
🌿 Karate Kismuri | finished with an aromatic coconut oil and curry leaf temperinga)
This is the kind of food that has been quietly passed down through generations in Konkani homes | simple, nourishing, deeply traditional, and packed with flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
– 1 Medium Sized Bittergourd / Karate (Cubed)
– 1 Small Onion (Chopped)
FOR MASALA:
– 1.5 Cups Fresh grated coconut
– 6 – 7 Red Chillies (Ramnaad)
– 1.5 Marble Sized ball of Tamarind
– 1 Tsp Coriander Seeds
– 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
– 1/4 Tsp Asafoetida (Hing)
