Description
Indian Bitter Melon is actually a member of the squash family. Resembling a bumpy cucumber, Indian Bitter Melon is much smaller than Chinese Bitter Melon. It is only 4 to 5 inches in length and the grooved yellow-green to dark green skin holds a fibrous, seed-filled core. Its slightly sour flavor becomes quite bitter upon ripening. This bitter or quinine flavor is often combined with garlic or chile. It is used in soups, curries, stir-fry, or can be steamed and braised.
