Bitter gourd vegetable made in North Indian style. I have named this “ Achari Karela” . This is the most hated vegetable and I wonder why?? But for me this is my favorite or can I say my most favorite. Some people eat it but they do crazy things before making it like dipping karela the whole day in salt water or sun drying and what not?? ( In a way they are killing all the goodness of the vegetable) This recipe is simple easy and I bet you, you will love it. My friend used to hate karela before and after eating this style, she started loving it. I don’t throw the seeds or peel it before making. For me it’s like neem, everything is so healthy and tasty. Simply cut and cook. Enjoy and welcome to the Karela Lovers Club. Eat with roties or rice and dal!
