I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bitter. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was just too much for me.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste, even after following the recipe exactly. I think I'll try adding more yogurt next time.

This bitter gourd yogurt dish was a delightful surprise! The bitterness of the gourd was perfectly balanced by the tanginess of the yogurt, and the spices added a wonderful depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
