Pavakai Vathal (பாகற்காய் வத்தல்) — Bitter Gourd Sun-Dried the Traditional Way

Pavakai Vathal is a time-honoured South Indian sun-dried delicacy made from fresh bitter gourd (karela) sliced and sun-dried without any chemicals or preservatives. Crispy, intensely flavoured, and packed with medicinal goodness — this is one of the most beloved traditional vathals in Tamil kitchens.

Fry it in sesame oil until golden and crispy, and it transforms into an irresistible crunchy side dish that pairs beautifully with any rice meal.
