So, this is my new experiment today..none of them have tasted but still posting it..will post their comments later :)
Ingredients
1. Karela - Bittergourd
2.Onion- finely chopped
3.Sugar-1-2 spoons
4.All dry masalas - Salt,red pepper,Coriander powder,aamchoor,haldi,garam masala
5.Palak - 2-3 leaflets-washed and finely chopped
6. saunf - the big and thicker one
7.Mustard oil
Procedure
1.I prefer cooking them in non-stick pan,consumes less oil and no fear of getting it burnt or stick.. :)
2.Cut the long karela to two parts -or as per sizes u want and make a slit in each.
3.Put some oil in the pan and fry Karela with lid covered.Keep changing the sides of karela till it gets little - little dark on all sides.It shd b almost cooked.Now remove them and let them cool.
4. If the karela is more ripen,the seeds can be taken out while slit is made.Otherwise,when the karela is cooled,open slit and remove the seeds.Seeds contribute to sour taste mainly.
5.If there are large number of seeds (cooking in large quantity),then you can grind them and use this powder also.Though I hv not tried it till now.
6.Now after you have removed karela from pan,put chopped onion,palak leaves,dry masalas,saunf,sugar and fry them.And then let it also cool down.
7.Now once both are cooled,put the fried masala in the slit of karela.
8.Now put the filled karela in pan-no need to add any oil now.cover with lid.No need to turn the karelas now.,..it was already cooked.Just let the masala absorb.
9.Hope u like it.
