Hope u liked it
enjoyyyyyyyyyy

Cut it up and fry it, I've never liked it (I'm Guyanese) but people seem to enjoy it this way

you eat Gorilla?

In India, we call this KARELA (bitter gourd or melon). If you soak cut pieces in a few changes of waqter, the bitterness will be reduced.

In Trinidad, it is known as CARAILI: I think this is the recipe you want: just send an email for the recipe, the dish is known as kalounjie.
