BAKED BITTER GOURD CHIPS WITH CHOW CHOW DAL


This is my first try on chips and dal...I wanted to make something different liking baking instead of frying and adding some veggies for my tomato dal.I baked potato chips previously and now followed the same procedure for bitter gourd .It was little bit bitter and spicy ...but enjoyed the taste.this is completely fat free.I added chow chow for my tomato dal to give it a different taste.They came out well .

BAKED BITTER GOURD



4 or 5 bitter gourds
2 table spoons dhania powder
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder or to tatse
non-stick cooking spray
aluminium foil
baking tray

Line a baking tray with foil and spray some non-stick cooking spray.keep this aside.
In a small bowl take salt,dhania powder and chilli powder .mix well.
Slice the bitter gourd say 2-3 mm thickness each.
Line up the bittergourd pieces on the baking tray .sprinkle the spice mix on bitter gourd slices.
Again spray some cooking spray on top of it.
Bake it for 15 min on 350 D F or till done.Check in between so that they don't burn.
Now turn them and bake for 3-4 min or till done.
Enjoy as a side.Tastes good with dal.

I'm not a big fan of bittergourd but my hubby loves it. I have some in my fridge now. Will surely try this recipe this week. Your plate of BG chips looks so tempting even for me. Very nice.
