Oh no, thr little bittergourds that I thought weren't bitter, are in fact bitter :( I picked firm, hard, green ones but actually should've gone for the softer and darker ones. Ideally they would be turning orange.

Here's the lickle gourds

and here's the finished curry though not the most photogenic

More bitter than I expected BUT lovely texture with the soft flesh, firmer skin, and crunchy seeds. Though it took an hour of cooking for them to soften.

I've seen these in the market, but wondered what to do with them. Thanks for elucidating.

I've never seen nor heard of those in my 40 years of time on this planet. Goes to show you can always be amazed.
