BAKED KARELA CHIPS
Baked Karela chips
Healthy Bitter gourd ( Haagalkayi, Bitter melon, Pavakkai) Chips.
These oven baked Karela chips are super crispy, salty and savory.
A perfect compliment to Daal Rice or just to be enjoyed on its own.
This is a really healthy version as I’ve used only one 2 tbsp of oil and no sugar.
Delicious vegan dish.Great for Diabetics too.
