looks gr8. sure would have tasted yummy. do u use jaggery or sugar else how do u drive away the bitter taste. my son loves karela only as a side dish for phulkas and not for rice. the slit is not seen at all - how did u stuff? anyways it was lip smacking!!!!
Hi Soldier Thanx 4 d compliment. Its really simple n easy 2 make which I learnt from my MIL. Need not add any sugar or gur, Besan and amchur balances the bitter taste. Slit in the middle so that karela becomes boat-shaped.
thank u. But after making the slit in the middle, fill the mixture and deep fry or shallow fry? could u pl tell me? Since my DH is having border sugar levels, I make karela often. Shall be really thankful if u could clarify my doubt. Bi
Hello After tightly stuffing - so that the stuff doesn't come out while frying - shallow fry. Place the stuffed karelas in kadai in such a way that the stuffed part is upwards and once the bottom part gets properly fried then slowly turn it upside down. Allow it to fry.
Hi, I wish to bring to your attention, the thread http://www.indusladies.com/forums/announcements/26532-no-chat-sms-style-words.html Love, Chithra.
Hi I love karela... BUt can you please let me know the quantity of besan,aam chur dhania-jeera powder to be added???????????
Hi Prettina For 4 long & thin karelas, take 2 tbsp of besan and the rest as per your taste. If you want too spicy then take 1 tsp of all the other ingredients or if you want less spicy then reduce it to 3/4 or 1/2 tsp. I think you got it.
