Ingredients
1 medium sized bitter gourd, 3 green chillies, 1 medium sized onion, 5gms of tamarind, salt to taste.

To season
Half teaspoon mustard, 1 dry red chilli, half teaspoon urad dal, half teaspoon chana dal, 1 pinch asafoetida, curry leaves.

Method
Chop the onions and the bitter gourd. Take 1 spoon of oil in a pan. Sauté the chopped onion and bitter gourd for up to 3 minutes or till they lose the raw smell.

Grind the mixture coarsely along with the tamarind chillies and salt.
Take a teaspoon of oil in a pan and prepare the tadka of mustard, asafoetida, red chilli, curry leaves, urad dal and chana dal. Put in the ground bitter gourd-onion mixture and stir for another 2 minutes.
Can be served with paranthas, dosas etc. Smitha replied. keep the roti dough ready and u can keep in fridge in an air tight box. Morning u can make roti with sugar filling. They taste really good. priya replied. Try out boiled egg.You can even make a simple omlette by breaking the egg directly on the pan,adding a pinch of salt and chilli powder to it and fry it both sides thoroughly.Or a single fruit like apple or a banana in the morning will be filling.Vegetable sandwich would be good and ideal for lunch.
