METHOD:-

1. Wash & chop bitter gourd into very small pieces & 1 tsp salt & keep aside atleast for 1/2 hr.
2. Then squeeze the water from it & deep fry them.

3. Grind all ingredients mentioned under FOR DRY MASALA to a coarse paste. Actually no need to add water, if neccessory add very little water while grinding.

and here's a tip:-

If you are serving it to different people at different time, then add only chopped onions & green chillies to the masala & add bitter gourd pieces while serving. In this way bitter gourd pieces will remain crispy.
