Karela Fry is a Indian recipe made using Karela/ Bitter gourd. Paired it with caramelised onions and basic spices. A quick recipe that tastes great with roti or dal chawal.
Peel the Karelas if they are ripe and hard. If they are tender and soft, you can leave the skin and need not to peel as it has all the amazing nutrients.
Peel the Karela and cut it into roundels. Take out the hard/ripe seeds.
Cover the chopped Karela in salt and rub it well. Let it sit in salt for 15-20 minutes, this will release all the bitterness. Squeeze the water and wash it again.
Heat oil in a kadhai, add rai, jeera, hing and split green chili. Add in chopped onions and cook it for a while.
Once onions are translucent, add in karela. Cook it till it gets crispy in the oil. Now add all the spices. Adjust the amchur powder and sugar as per your taste.
Add salt carefully and add in chopped coriander leaves.
