Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash bitter gourds, peel a bit, remove some bumps.
- 2
Slit vertically, remove seeds and apply salt in and out and leave the bitter gourds for about 4-5 hours. Wash them later, pat them dry
- 3
Make grounded masala for stuffing: Dry roast cumin (jeera) seeds (less than a tsp), nigella (kalonji) seeds (less than a tsp) and fennel (saunf) seeds (1 tsp), cool it a bit and grind. Keep aside. Fennel seeds add flavours to karela (Bitter gourds), so I add more of that.
- 4
Stuffing: In a wok, heat some oil (mustard oil), add chopped onions. Saute until golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes. Add salt to taste, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and the freshly grounded masala. Mix well.
- 5
Saute until masala starts to leave oil. Bhuno the masala well. Let the masala cool. You can taste, and add more of the grounded masala depending upon how spiced you would like it to be.
- 6
Stuff bitter gourds with the onion-tomato masala. Tie them with a thread.
- 7
Pan fry the karelas: Add some oil in a pan. Place stuffed karelas in the pan. Also, add the remaining onion tomato masala into the wok. Keep turning the karelas in small intervals. Cover and cook until charred, crisp and done.
