Re: Guntur recipe for Kakarakaya-ullikaram/stuffed bittergourd or stuffed karela??? Vaishnavi, try this site Flavors of Indian Rasoi: Kakarakaaya Ullikaram Kura. I dont use water as said at this site (just sprinkle a little to avoid being burnt) since water enhances bitterness. Also I use dry tamarind powder to add sour taste and a pinch of bellam (brown sugar) I dont know if this is how guntur residents make stuffed kakarakaya since i am from hyderabad

ARABIC FOOD! Tabouleh Tabouleh is a salad like no other. Made with fresh veggies, olive oil and spices, it can be eaten in pita bread, scooped onto pita bread, or traditionally with a fork. In the Middle East, fresh grape leaves are used as a scoop. Tabouleh can be made with a variety of veggies according to taste. You can add carrots, cucumbers, red or green onions. I always suggest to taste as you go along in preparation. Yo can also add romaine lettuce for a fuller salad. INGREDIENTS: 2 bunches of fresh parsley (1 1/2 cup chopped, with stems discarded) 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped I medium onion, finely chopped 6 medium tomatoes, diced 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup bulghur, medium grade 6 tablespoons lemon juice 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Romaine lettuce or grape leaves to line servicng bowl (optional) PREPARATION: Soak bulghur in water for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in cold water until soft.
