- Bitter Guards ( karela ) - 4-5
- Onions - 2 medium
- Coriander Powder - 1 tbsp
- Red Chili Powder - 1 tsp
- Amchoor - 1 tsp
- Salt - to taste
- Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
- Oil - 3 tbsp
- Chopped Cilantro - for garnishing
Directions:
- Scrap the Karelas and make a slit at one side to remove all the seeds. You can keep the seeds if you like. I sometimes leave half of them.
- Chop the karelas into thin slices, either lengthwise or round like chips.
- Wash and rub 1 tbsp of salt over the karela pieces and let them sit for 1-2 hours.
- Wash again and queeze the moisture out of the karela. This will help reduce the bitterness.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add sliced onions and saute till they turn translucent.
- Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, amchoor and red chili powder.
- Add karela and fry them . Cover it and let it cook till the karelas are tender and totally cooked. Adjust salt.
- Add chopped cilantro after you turn off the flame.
