Wash bitter gourd well and wipe with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Next Chop the bitter gourd in to thin slices. The thinner the slices crispier the chips. Remove the thick seeds in the bitter gourd as we slice.

Transfer to a bowl. Now add besan flour , Rice flour and corn flour.
Next add the spice powders. I am using Red Chili powder, amchoor powder ,Turmeric powder and Salt. Toss everything once so that the spices mix well.
Sprinkle little water and mix everything. The spice powders evenly coat over the bitter gourd as you mix. Check for taste and adjust if anything is required.

Heat the oil for deep frying . Let it come to smoking hot now reduce the flame. Drop the bitter gourd pieces in batch. Don’t overcrowd fry in a medium flame.
Cook for 3-5 mins. Once the bitter gourd turns crispy and fully cooked remove from the hot oil. Drain in a paper towels to remove the excess oil. Serve hot

Bitter gourd fry goes very well as a lunch side dish. It can also be served as snack along with a cup of chai.
If you want to remove the bitterness in bitter gourd after slicing and removing the seeds mix with 2 tablespoon of curd and allow it to rest for 10 mins it will start leaving water. Squeeze out the excess water and then continue with the rest of the process.
If you prefer the bitter gourd chips more like bajji add in extra 2 tablespoon of Besan flour.
Serve Bitter gourd chips with bise bele bath or Curd Rice .The combo is just awesome.
