Relishing 'karela' is an acquired taste. And I acquired it pretty late but once I did develop taste for it I don't mind eating it day, noon and night. So, to give karela a twist , I thought of using the natural tastes of karela and sweet potato and mixing them together !
* warning* :- This recipe has not many takers...it is tailored for my taste buds only so in case you do take risk to make it, be prepared to eat it alone! )
