There are many ways of preparing this vegetable. But beauty of this dish, it is very simple and yet so yummy.
Following are the steps
1. Cut karela in slices (circular..along breadth of karela) and remove seeds from between so as to form rings. Put them in boiling water for 15-20 mins.
2. After 20 mins drain the rings and coat them with rice flour paste (take rice flour and add water to form very thin consistency). Then heat little oil in skillet (pan) and put these rings and shallow fry till point when they become crispy and start golden browning.
You can skip this step, and directly go to step 3 if in hurry. But this will make rings crsipy,tasty and add texture to curry.
3. Now in oil in skillet (same oil remained from shallow frying), put mustard seeds(mohari) and asofotida.
Then add chopped onion and ginger garlic paste. Saute for 4-5 minutes. Now add red chilli powder,garam masala powder,tamarind pulp(chinch) ,jaggery(sugar will also do if no jaggery/gud/gul) and salt.Again saute till point all the masala is cooked and you smell it cooked. It may take about 4-5 minutes. If you have rice flour paste left out, you can put it in..this will give smooth texture to masala.
4.Add little water to it , again cook for about 3-4 minutes ,and when this masala is almost done, add crispy rings of karela to it. Coat with masala, cover with lid for 2-3 minutes. Remove lid ,garnish with coriander.
Tasty and not at all bitter gourd rings is ready :)

Hello All
ReplyDeleteThanks for viewing my posts.
But it will be great if you can post your comments for recipes(posts) you are viewing/liking/disliking. So I get feedback from you.
hello deeps, recipe sounds excellent just one suggestion it would be awesome if u add pics of the dishes and also put a list of ingredients with quantity and the no of servings that quantity would make..... becoz most food recipe sites do that and somehow people get used to it as it is more specific, i too keep referring net very frequently for recipes and hence suggesting ... I find this info useful while preparing any dish.
