Vegetable Stuffed Karela

Hi Friends

Today I am coming with a variety of dish ie Karela filled with vegetable stuffing.

Everybody knows that this veggie karela/bitter gourd is not liked by many because of bitterness. But this is one of  'good for you' vegetable as it has many health benefits and also used for medicinal purpose. Best remedy for diabetes. Diabetes patients take raw karela juice by the advice of the doctor. Having excellent source of nutrients, it will strengthen your immunity.

Coming to the point of bitterness of karela, using some recipes you can shift little of its bitterness. Today I am having 3 karela, potato and carrot in our fridge. I thought of  stuffing karela with vegetables.

Let us now go into the details.

Ingredients
  • Karela                                      3 medium size
  • Potato                                       1 medium size
  • Carrot                                       2 nos
  • Onion                                        1 big ( finely chopped )
  • Green mirchi                              2  (chopped)
  • Coarinder powder                     pinch
  • Mint leaves                                1/4 cup
  • Garam masala                           1/4 tbsp
  • Fresh lemon juice                       1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying
How to prepare
  1. Wash karela thoroughly and wipe them dry.
  2. Make a slit in the karela lengthwise keeping the base intact. Remove the hard seeds if any.
  3. Take water in vessel. Add pinch of salt, pinch of turmeric powder and  2 leaves of tamarind and drop slit karela in that water.
  4. Keep the vessele on the stove and setup to half boiled. It takes 5 minutes for karela to get half boiled.
  5. Let it cool and squeeze it and keep aside.
  6. Mean time cook potato and carrot pieces.
  7. Take a pan add oil. Let it heat. Add chopped onion and green mirchi , let them fry for couple of minutes.
  8. Then add mint leaves, stir well, add boiled and smashed potato, boiled carrot pieces.
  9. Fry for a minute and add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well .
  10. Finally add 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice to this curry.
  11. Now stuff  the kareala fully with this curry with your hands without breaking karela into halves.
  12. Take a pan add oil. After heat the oil, add stuffed karela gently.
  13. Fry them on low flame till they become crispy.
  14. Remove with slotted spoon and keep on paper napkin.

Serve with rice or roti and take as snack also..

My note
  • It doesn't take much time to fry as the karela are half boiled and stuffed curry is already cooked.
  • Always fry on low flame , if curry falls into oil, oil will spoil and burn.
  • You can remove the outer layer of karela (the spiky bits) if you want.
  • Boiling karela with salt and tamarind removes little bitterness from them.
  • I didn't add curry leaves to curry as flavor of mint will goes off.
  • You can use this curry for filling somasa for bread toast also..

  1. Myles was a 20 year-old man who was brought to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that Myles had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money and refused to leave. I was as shocked as a father, Although Myles had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. His sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from his room and ask his family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.I could not stand the shame of my son illness so I decide to consult some of my africa friends at work , and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her Hiv and Prostate Cancer after the herbal medicine consumption.
