Karela Sabzi
Karela Sabzi holds a special place among my preferred curries. Bitter gourd, or Karela, is a vegetable known for its pronounced bitterness, which contributes to its significant medicinal and nutritional benefits for the body.
Ingredients
- Chopped Karela(Bitter Gourinto rings - 2 cups
- Salt to taste
- Red chili powder - 1 tsp
- Cumin and coriander powder - 1 tsp
- Jaggery - 2 tbsp
- Oil - 2 tbsp
- Turmeric powder - ½ tsp
Instructions
- Sprinkle some salt over chopped karela. Leave it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, Squeeze karela and take out water. That would reduce the bitterness from karela marginally.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add karela and turmeric powder. Mix them very well. Cover it and cook it for 5 minutes or until karela is tender over medium heat.
- Add cumin and coriander powder, chili powder and jaggery. Mix them very well. Taste it once and then add salt. Cook it for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.
- Switch off the flame. Your Karela Sabji is ready. Serve it hot with Phulka Roti.
