Bitter Gourd n Potato Stir Fried Vege or Uchche Alu bhaja (as we call it in bengali) is very easy to make and tastes great with Rice/Roti. I like it a bit crispy, hence add no water.

This is how I prepare it:
· Take 2 potatoes, peel off the skin and cut into thin matchsticks.
· Take 2-3 bitter gourds and cut it lengthwise and then into thin slices ( as shown in the picture). I prefer to cut it into matchstick shapes. If you want it de-seeded cut the bitter gourd into half and just scoop out the seeds.
· Boil both Bitter Gourd and Potatoes separately in water for 2 mins (this way u need less time to cook).
· Drain the water and keep it aside.
· Heat oil in a Kadai and add some Paanch Phoron.
· Add the bolied Bitter Gourd and stir, 1 green chilli and stir fry for a min or two.
· Add the boiled Potato, salt (as required) and stir fry for 5 mins.
Its DONE!!! Taste the stuff and see if its crisp enough or you need to stir for a bit more time.
