New Delhi: Bitter gourd, widely known for its health benefits, can be made much less bitter with the help of a few simple household techniques, which also improve its overall taste. According to experts, bitter gourd contains certain natural compounds that are responsible for its strong bitter flavor. The human tongue quickly detects these compounds, making the vegetable taste sharp and intensely bitter. However, ingredients such as salt, curd, turmeric, onion, and mustard oil can help reduce the effect of these bitter elements, resulting in a more balanced and enjoyable flavor.
