Very tasty!

I just had a successful experiment for supper tonight with the dried
bitter melon I have to hand; I soaked it, then braised it with some
aubergine in a bit of the soaking water until soft. I finished it with
a tablespoon of yoghurt and seasoning, and served it alongside a Thai
green curry with chicken. Yum : )

It sounds yummy, too, Nicky! Thai green curry (Gaeng Ki Warn) is one of my
favorites. Recipes are only starting places to spark your imagination, eh?
I hadn't thought of eggplant and bitter melon. That's a must try. Thanks.
