Pavakka Kondattam or Karela chips or Bitter Gourd chips is a
popular South Indian accompaniment that is made from thinly sliced
Pavakka (bitter gourd or karela) that is salted and sun-dried.
Pavakka Kondattam is primarily enjoyed
as an accompaniment to meals in South Indian cuisine. It's a
crispy and flavourful treat that pairs exceptionally well with
rice dishes, particularly curd rice or sambar rice. Some people
also enjoy it as a side dish for their meals, adding a crunchy and
spicy element to balance the flavours.
