For this dish I scraped and fried the karela ... something I usually don't do when am making karela masala or plain fried. But too much bitter would not go with the slightly sour curd.
This actually turned out great. Hubby likes it with parathas ... but for me .... always rice. :-)
Need : Karelas ( scraped , cut into long slices and marinated with salt for about an hour ),
beaten curd, haldi powder, red chilli powder, dhaniya powder,
jeera, a pinch of hing, cooking oil and salt to taste.

How to : Drain the karela and wash it well. Heat enough oil and fry them till done.
In a different pan heat about a tablespoonfull of fresh oil.
Add jeera and hing. Now add the curd and haldi and red chilli powder.
Add dhaniya powder.
Cook in low flame , stirring gently.
Add the salt and the karelas.

Or you can dry it up completely, like a sukha dish.

Great with hot rotis / parathas / steamed rice.

Both of you like karela?? That is surprising! Here husband and daughter love it, me and son hate it! In fact the vipakshi dal often complain about that. Maybe I should floor them with this recipe - I actually do not know how to cook karela:)
