METHOD

peel the bitter gourd

slit them in a way that we cut them for filling. If the seeds are tender, if you want to keep them or you may remove the seeds

sprinkle all over them

rub the karela well

leave aside for 15-20 minutes

then squeeze the karela so that their extra bitterness comes out

wash them well

heat oil in a pan, once the oil reaches smoking point, add karela

shallow fry them till they turn brown from all the sides.

remove the fried karela.

add jeera in the remaining oil and once it splutters,

 add red chili pdr, haldi, garam masala, saunf  pdr to curd, whisk it well, add this to the pan, keep whisking or else curd will curdle.

stop when curd begins to boil. cook curd only for 2-3 minutes or until oil is seen separating from it

add the fried karela and mix well

cover the pan with a lid, let it simmer for 2 minutes, so that the karela absorbs all the flavours. serve it hot with rice, roti.
