Guthi Kakarakaya

Gutti Kakarakaya – Andhra Style Stuffed Baby Bitter Gourd Fry – is a culinary delight and the perfect way to savor this often-avoided vegetable. As children, my sister and I vehemently disliked bitter gourd, regardless of how it was prepared. Sundays were a challenge, as Amma would lovingly prepare this special stuffed version. We’d resist with all our might, often resorting to simply eating the delicious stuffing! It wasn’t until we started cooking for ourselves that we truly began to appreciate the unique flavor and undeniable awesomeness of stuffed baby bitter gourds.
