Karela Sabzi | Dry Bitter Gourd Curry

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 250 grams karela or 5 small to mediums sized karela or 2 cups chopped karela (bitter gourd)
  • 200 grams onions or 2 large onions or 1.5 cups thinly sliced onions
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder
  • salt as per taste
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon dry mango powder (amchur powder), add as required

How to make Karela Sabzi

1. Rinse and then peel 250 grams karela or 5 small to medium sized karela. Wash them in running water. Then chop in small pieces. Remove the seeds while chopping. If the karela is small and tender, then these will have tender seeds and they cannot be removed. If karela is very bitter, then add some salt on chopped karela pieces. Mix very well and allow this mixture to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Then squeeze the karela and rinse them very well in water. This will get rid of some bitterness from the karela.
