Drawing of Momordica

[sweettais]

Hello friends! Today I want to show you a new drawing with exotic fruit - Momordica.

Momordica - bitter gourd which grows in of tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia and Australia.

Momordica has form of an oblong pumpkin with large irregularities. This vegetable is colored green or orange.
Inside the fruit are quite large seeds.

To the tastes he resembles a ripe persimmon, and the fruit itself tastes like the taste of a pumpkin.
The surface of the fruit is a bit bitter, so the momordica is often called the "bitter gourd","bitter apple", or "balsam-pear"

This fruits widely used in East Asian, South Asian, and Southeast Asian cuisine.

You can see photo of drawing process, from the first to the last stage:



Thank you for the watching.

Have a nice day :)

I saw such a fruit used many times in the cuisine of Kerala, India (I stayed there 4 months.) Quite fascinating, and strange. I enjoy your colorful, surreal method of drawing :-)

О, я слышала про такую горькую тыкву, но никогда не пробовала и не видела в живом виде. Интересно, для чего ее выращивают?

Да, и рисовать ее изгибы и извилины - кропотливое занятие)

[sweettais]

Спасибо:) Момордику добавляют в рагу салаты и первые блюда. Также ее можно тушить, жарить и мариновать.

А горечь уходит?

[sweettais]

Для удаления горечи ее нужно предварительно отварить в сильно соленой воде:)

When I saw the picture of your drawing I thought it was a fruit called in my country Guanabana but when I read your post I realized that I was wrong.

Nice drawling, So the out side of the fruit is bitter while the inside taste like pumpkin? Do you make pies from them also?

[sweettais]

Thank you! So far, I just fried and stewed Momordica, but you gave me a great idea! I'll have to try to cook:)
