Karela Juice Recipe

Ingredients – Makes 1 small glass
1 Karela Big
salt to taste
lime/lemon juice as per taste

Few slices of cucumber for garnish

Method
Wash the Karela.
Remove the seeds.
Cut into small pieces.
Puree it in a blender or is you have juicer you can use that. If using blender you can add little water. About 1/4 cup will do.
If pureed using a blender, pass it through a sieve.
Add salt and Lime/Lemon juice to the collected juice.
Serve with cucumber slices for garnish.

Note: This is really bitter, but the benefits are in this bitter part. I just had drop of it and could not have more my whole food pipe is reacting to it and I can feel the bitter taste all the way down.

But if you have Diabeties, this is a good home remedy.

Nice, I juice cucumber and celery with it. Makes it a little easier to drink 🙂

Thank you so very much for adding to my repertoire of dishes I can make with bitter melon. It’s one of those foods in the Blue Zones discussions/cookbooks that would be nice to see more of around in my part of the world. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday!
