As much as bitter gourd is beneficial for health, its bitterness troubles people as much. Especially children make faces on hearing the name of bitter gourd. But what if the same bitterness of bitter gourd goes away in a jiffy, and its taste is so amazing that everyone eats it with relish? Yes, by adopting some easy and old home remedies, you can reduce the bitterness of bitter gourd to a great extent and double the taste. Salt, curd, lemon, and tamarind play a special role in this.

The most common and effective method is the use of salt. After cutting bitter gourd, add a little salt to it and leave it for 15–20 minutes. Salt brings out its bitter juice from bitter gourd. After this, squeeze the bitter gourd well and then wash it with water. This is the simplest and most effective method that everyone can adopt. This removes the bitterness of bitter gourd to a great extent, and after cooking, it does not taste bitter.

Now talking about curd, this is also a great way to improve the taste of bitter gourd. Soaking bitter gourd in curd reduces its astringency, and the taste becomes normal. For this, soak the chopped bitter gourd in a bowl of curd for 20-30 minutes. Then take it out, wash it, and cook it. Curd not only reduces the bitterness of bitter gourd, but also softens its texture, making it more delicious to eat.

Lemon juice is also very beneficial to reduce the bitterness of bitter gourd. The sourness of lemon balances the bitterness of bitter gourd. For this, after cutting the bitter gourd, squeeze lemon juice into it and leave it for 15 minutes. Later, after washing it with water, you can fry it or stuffed. Lemon juice not only improves the taste, but also lightens the smell of bitter gourd a bit. If you want to adopt some more special method, then definitely name tamarind. The sour taste of tamarind balances the bitterness of bitter gourd in an excellent way. You can soak the bitter gourd in tamarind water or make tamarind paste and dip it in it. After keeping it in tamarind water for 20-25 minutes, wash the bitter gourd and cook it.
