Bitter gourd in Yogurt is a classic Indian dish that is known for its health benefits. The dish combines the bitter taste of bitter gourd with the creamy texture of yogurt to create a unique and flavorful mix of flavors. Bitter gourd, also known as karela, is a vegetable that is known for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, improve digestion, and promote weight loss.

This dish is low in calories, highly nutritious, and can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a healthy and flavorful meal.

5.	Cook on medium-high heat until the bitter gourd is tender, stirring occasionally.
6.	Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle fennel powder and chat masala on top before serving.
