印度炸苦瓜片(Indian Style Deep Fried Bitter Gourds)

喜欢印度友族“香蕉叶“饭的朋友们，

应该对这道辛香咸辣，酥酥脆脆的炸苦瓜片不会陌生吧？

Those of you who love Indian "banana leaf rice" should be no stranger to this savoury and crispy dish, right? 

以往在槟城短住时，第一次关顾印度友族的餐馆时，

就对这道好吃的小吃，留下很深的印象。

Back when I lived in Penang, I fell in love with this delicious side dish the first time I visited an Indian restaurant.

前几天，再次和它相遇，

再次勾起我想挑战的冲动。

Having had it again a few days ago, I've decided to challenge this dish.

于是，今天菜市买菜时，

随兴抱回2大条苦瓜，网上参考一些相关食谱，

今天我就让这道特别的小食，登上安家的饭桌咯。

Thus, I bought a couple of bitter gourds, scoured a few websites for recipes, and voila! One deep fried bitter gourd, served!
