2. Meanwhile heat oil for deep frying in a karai or wok. Deep fry the slices;
 some people prefer thicker slices fried til they are just cooked but still green
    and soft – while others prefer wafer thin slices fried ’til they are crunchy and
 become dark bitter melon chips.

3. Again you may remove the seeds if you like before eating. 
Serve as a starter. Invokes digestion – Very delicious!
