Let's be honest, your go-to burger and fries might make your taste buds dance, but they are not exactly health icons. Enter bitter gourd, aka karela, the vegetable that is as nutritious as it is notoriously bitter. But trust us, with a little creativity it can totally win you over. Don't trust us? See what actor Rakul Preet Singh has to say. Recently, she gave karela a major celeb shout-out on her Instagram Stories.
First, she showed off fresh, homegrown gourds and next, she flipped them into crispy-fried slices with sweet caramelized onions. Suddenly, bitter does not remain so scary!
