Karela Fry bitter melon

[bloodmore23]

2:21 looks like he just ate a shit sandwich i was looping it and couldnt stop laughing great video though ^_^

[MsDigitaltube]

OMG. This is a great video and his face after drinking the bitter melon juice! Priceless. I'm making it tonight.

[NuggetMaven]

I think if I try this, I won't soak w/salt beforehand, but will add a pinch of jaggery to round out the flavors, as something sweet does enhance the heat of the chiles. Looks great.

[SunnyMoon2010]

Bitter melon has a lot of nutrient and goodness but taste horrible. The way he cooked it destroyed much of it and making it meaningless to eat it. For the taste, use other ingredients. For the nutrient, eat bitter melon raw.

[basantlal2008]

Cheers !

[nileshnaidu28]

Hahahaha...i also couldnt stop laughing after 2:21....but u r a great demonstrater...i hav cooked ur baigan ka bharta...turned out realy wel...thanks!!!

[bvp1255]

Laughed my a.... off. Just bought bitter melon for the first, wanted to know how to cook. I would say, do not, I repeat do not drink the juice.

[adhisongpc]

u dont add sugar in any of the dishes in kerala...expessially bitter guard fry....just fry it...but dont add coriander powder in any fries.....just add turmeric powder, green chilly, curry leaf...thts it.....nothing more needed..ofcourse salt......

[unitedbysweetdreams]

oh! my look at his expression from 2:21on ward when he is add the rest of spices.. oh i couldnt stop laughing..

[MrPhotomania]

I just finished making the dish and it tasted very good, thanks for posting this video chef.

[Thedude90000]

@MrPhotomania is it bitter?

[MrPhotomania]

@Thedude90000 If you apply the salt and squeeze out the juice, most of the bitterness is gone that is almost 95% of the bitterness. Enjoying the taste of Karela is an accquired taste, I have it mostly for its health benefits but I do enjoy the taste more now than I did as a child.

[Jyohan3]

chef, v make the dish with a little twist........v add little milk to 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp jaggery in the end. It'a a must try dish. thank u.

[werewasyo]

lmao why did he drink the whole thing..u take a sip

[trakba]

This dish is yaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyy

[psyquizlabor64]

Please read wikipedia about how to dose the Fruit! If you get to much of it you get problems with your stomach! It´s not poison but you have to handle care!Try to buy dry Fruit piece as Tee! China Shop you can find it! 2$ 300g

[hina1510]

Awesome recipe. Loved it.

[TheMaryam2222]

extremely talented n funny cook !!

[sharam7]

1:53 he says green color just like water melon. haha...

[Kermista]

This is one vegetable that I have failed to gastronomically conquer. No matter how I cook it, I can't stomach it, too damn bitter, completely unpleasant to my taste buds. Edible but not eatable. But I regularly drink its juice, drinkable though, just had a glass of it just 10 minutes ago...

[keltyk]

Those things sure are bitter-- about half hour of sautéeing and too bitter- that's after squeezing the juice out with plenty salt to start-- May add some lemon juice to cut the bitterness if cooking won't do it-- Still waiting

[Najma202]

LOL! the face made after drinking the juice was priceless! I will try your dish, but not the drink...I will leave it for you to try it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[gargbhumika]

ha ha ha haa...hilarious face he makes after that big sip...watched that part of video 5 times! and still laughing..lolzzzz

[maveethemighty]

ya! really chef! no tx i will enjoy the curry without drinkin the juice! ;)

[BeEnReDeEmEd]

that is the exact face I made when my husband asked to try malavar spinach, NASTY.  It definitely must be that I love him to try that stuff!

[MimiAhmad84]

Thank you VahChef! this is a great recipe. We loved it!

[MsRicha30]

haaaaaaaaaa.............. wht a face......

[AKiitchen]

2:02 stop exxagerating

[AKiitchen]

2:02 stop exxagerating



[AKiitchen]

2:02 stop exxagerating

[AKiitchen]

Exxager8ing too much.....

[TheItirp2001]

Hilarious.....I was laughing after seeing his expression....he really didnt mean to be funny lol...was looking for a recipe , but got some laughs too

[MrElliottBeltran]

This looks interesting however I don't see the point of using bitter melon especially when it looks like the goal is to remove/dilute the taste of the main ingredient. I could just be missing something here since I have never even tried bitter melon but it does't look like an ingredient that is desirable to cook with.

[bluefirecrest]

doesn't squeezing make more bitter? Also the white part is bitter.

[veena55555]

it was so damn hilarious seeing his normally relaxed n happy face all twisted up for such a long time after drinking the juice, if that was so bitter why didnt he stop videoing and get something to refresh his mouth before resuming to shoot LMAO

[NotLikeTheOtherKids]

Love the way he says: Bitter melon! LMAOF

[ahkilinc]

This was really easy to follow! =]

[harikrishnadhar]

Please don't use this method it is not going to work. we have wasted 2 pounds of bitter melon in doing this method and also lot of ingredients. In this method he has not told how to remove the bitterness and just by squeezing this will not go away. The right method will be posted in the same website pretty soon. All this is stated with personal experience.

[juneg1964]

Hahahahhahaha. I have to watch your face three times after you tasted the juice and your feelings continued till the dish cooking was over. Thanks for posting. You are an inspiration to me.

[rulersify]

I am impressed of how he drank that whole thing. I drank a spoon, and wow this thing tastes so bitter. jee i hope the spices in the dish take out the bitterness.

[pals081]

Hey chef, it was really funny, I am still laughing. Anyway just wanted to inform that only 30 to 40 ml of bittermelon juice ( unsalted) is recommended in 24 hrs. otherwise it can upset your stomach.

[joel750]

"OMG...I don't know how people drink this!" LOL! XD XD XD ROTFLMAO!! But i have to tell you after learning something today @ Chef: Anything that taste good will actually KILL you in the end (if you over do it), While anything that is bitter, nasty tasting whatever or experience will actually make you live longer or teach you a thing or two about lessons in life

[skdnow]

Dear Chef - is that a real suggestion for enhancing the taste of the dish, or are you trying to trick us into drinking bitter melon juice?

[gunkapoor]

he's too cute hahahah

[chinmunaurn]

Really funny to see his expression after he took juice...

I prepared this and it came out really awesome.. as suggested have juice first then fry next... it will be awesome.

[chinmunaurn]

Really funny to see his expression after he took juice...

[deepika0911]

hahaha...funny guy

[lidogil]

I like the recipe .....

[priyamvadha123]

LOL chef! so funny when you have that 'monkey ate ginger look'....

[harithagangone]

Sanjay Thumma...Vah Chef !

[lboddeti]

was waiting to see the expression on his face while drinking the bitter melon juice.... hahahahahah........ very nice expression and it continued for a long time... anyways, good recipe as always :)

[AfGhAnPrIdEJR]

i tried this and added all the sugar i had and it still tasted like DEATH...

[AfGhAnPrIdEJR]

hahah extremely funny hahah that disguisted look is priceless....

@2:14 he realizes thats its nasty....lol

[TheGreatAfricanGuru]

you are my new hero!

if it tastes bad, why did you drink the whole cup. i thought you were going to say its yummy.

you should think of a career as an actor or stand up comedian too

[vaalogaan]

funny guy..........he he he lol

[jovanna407]

what he was saying about boiling the leaf of the plant and drinking it... my mom makes that for me to drink its really not that bad probably not as bitter as the stuff he drank but the leaves are full of iron and it clears up ur skin, my mum gives it to me if i get hives or alotta zits and its really good for you... anything that is natural and good for you probably tastes horrible.

[potbottle]

chef!

your juice looks quite bitter, so my mouth is getting bitter too.(lol

[saprater25]

Dude, you are insane. LOL. I've had just the water some bitter melon was blanched in and thought my tongue was going to dissolve. It's like someone making a tea from the white pith of a grapefruit. Nasty, astringent stuff! Can't imagine drinking it straight.

[AxeManAnthony]

I can't believe he drunk it! XD

[TopClubMixesToday]

i love this guy

[amanpreetkul]

no salt??

[saini1431]

good

[dayohus]

I had the juice now..with a little lemonade and sugar...it was so not so bad...bitter melon is rich in iron..

[MsRationalbeing]

I've seen these melons at my local ethnic market. Thanks for this recipe, now I know how to use these!

[mandyx4z]

Lol! you are too funny. I enjoy bitter melon...or Caraillie as we call it here in Trinidad and Tobago. Thanks for this great recipe. Keep them coming!!!

[jingabobo]

In Hindi its called "Karela" !! Sounds alike huh? =)

[Shipra86]

Hi Sanjay,

Did u peal the Karela's?

And are we suppose to cook the seeds with it too??

Thanks :)

[amanpreetkul]

yes

[simulbee]

Sanjay taking one for the team!!!!

[VU2ISY]

great video. keep posting. thanks

[VU2ISY]

THANKS. great video

[potbottle]

When did he remove the seeds ?

I always remove the seed, and fry with some beaten egg.

This is the most famous Okinawan dish!

[xosilentears]

I literally sat here laughing for about 20 minutes because of the faces you were making after drinking that juice.

[sonicboom2885]

that juice is used during good friday, in remembrance of what they gave Jesus to drink when he asked for water because he was thirsty. Its called bittergourd drink. mixed with rose water, bitter gourd juice, vinegar.

[mttube321]

haha ... agreed

[leela57]

hey ,this is how i makeit too. but idont take away all that juice . you can add some fresh coconut cut into pieces before you fry.

[swiftmachine]

Your show rocks man....rock man rock!!

[rjb007007]

its nt healthy way to cook bitter melon . u can put some potato in this. fr that u dont need to squeeze that juice.

[Bangerz0604]

LMAO

[lesley1346]

so sorry, I meant to click the thumbs up

[diegoandnico]

the prolonged look of disgust on his face after he drinks the bitter melon juice is hilarious.

A+ for comedic value vachef!

[MunafHirkani]

@diegoandnico haa haa haa .. its really funny

[CosmicDamian]

@diegoandnico Haaa yeah! Disgust, and sadness even! "Why??!?" LOL

[metrolady72]

P.S: Will not take your suggestion of drinkin the juice first n then have this dish NO WAYS!!!SORRRRYY :P

[chirpysang]

[Medracin]

[LukasLG54]

He is very funny =D

[sh97]

bittermelon is not for the faint of heart. it is more bitter than eating a handful of coffee grounds! bleh! definitely an aquired taste! My mother is from the philiipines, and they eat it often, i used to cry when she made me eat it.

[twiztor123]

same here dude , i feel ya

:D

[sh97]

On my gosh, I was laughing so hard after he drank it! I tried the leaves before. they are EXTREMELY bitter and strong! heehee The look on his face is priceless! 2:30

[SouthernSky]

[CaptainFrantic]

As others have said, you are so, so funny (and a fantastic presenter). After drinking that juice you looked like you'd just sucked a lemon. XD

You deserve a spot on cable TV.
