Stuffed Bitter Gourd (Karela)

Method: (The yellow thing in below picture is inner stuff of karela)

Wash Bittergourd properly. Give a slit from centre(lengthwise) and remove the innerstuff of bittergourd to make it empty. (Keep that inner stuff aside, we'll use it later)Apply salt on the bittergourd with hand (inside and out everwhere). Keep it aside for 10-15 mins. (We apply salt to take out its excess bitterness)Grate the onions or grind them into a fine paste.Remove the seeds from the inner stuff(that you took out from bittergourd) and grind the remaining inner stuff of bittergourd with onion.Heat oil in pan for deep frying. Put bittergourd in oil and deep fry them (just for few mins to make it light brown). If you'll deep fry them for long time, the skin of bittergourd will become hard.(Don't deep fry for long time.)After deep frying, take out oil from pan and empty it. In the same pan, add grinded onion and cook for few mins on sim gas till onion becomes light brown. Add salt(as per taste), Fennel pwd, Corriander pwd, Amchur, Red chilli pwd and turmeric pwd. Mix them properly. Remove from gas and let it cool.Take bittergourd and stuff the onion paste (~1tbsp) in it and wrap the thread around it. Similarly, prepare all the bittergourds.Again, Slightly grease the pan with oil and put all the bittergourds in it and cook for 5 mins on sim gas.(While cooking, don't cover the lid ).Healthy and tasty Bittergourd is ready to eat with Parantha's . You can refrigerate them for 20-25days.
