If you want to get the bitterness out of it, freeze it first(after cleaning and cutting it ofcourse). Then defrost it before cooking and sprinkle of salt over it. Rub till its flaccid and squeeze as much liquid out of it as you can. Add water and squeeze again. Then fry it till its deep golden brown and slightly crisp, but just slightly. It works perfectly for me.

I usually have mum do the washing part :D

Yea my amma makes really good fried karela but I never had enough confidence to make it myself. Isn't it a lot of work squeezing all the liquid from it though? But is it as healthy a vegetable after we fry it? I only like karela when it's fried but i'm thinking it isn't too good for the blood after that.
