Bittergourd Masala

I usually make bittergourd as simple stir fry using sometimes with prawns, but this masala is completely a new dish which is prepared actually for filling and making out some paratha with this bittergourd masala, but finally me and DH finished them with rice and boiled eggs also needless to say that this bittergourd masala goes terrible awesome along with rotis too,i never tried adding ginger garlic paste along with bittergourd and also i used Poppy seeds & quinoa spice powder while making this masala..This masala tastes fabulous and we loved it..Since i used poppy seed spice powder, this masala goes directly to Vegetable Marathon - Bittergourd guest hosted by Nithu, event by Anita..
