@ bold Go for it.. hope you will like it..

Yup karela and potato thinly sliced and with besan its yumm... I had kaju karela in a wedding n I was like what is this ? but then I liked it and if I want to make something fancy and different for dinner I make it..

Sorry captain shreya we dont want to irritate or annoy you with your not so favorite sabzi but as its a masterchef round we are sharing ideas of cooking karela differently..

Lol never hurts. My sis loves karela so maybe I'll take something from here for her instead.

is it because of bitterness or you dont like the texture? to take off bitterness you have to rub pretty good amount of salt and let it soak for like more than an hour and later wash it which takes all the bitterness away.

Both. Mostly bitterness. My mom has tried that as well and I still don't like it. The skin has most of the bitterness so that's why she even tried removing that and then soaking it and doing it that way, but I guess some of it's also my brain. You know how your brain just sees something that gives you bad memories and stays that way, that's how it is for me with karela.

@ Hmm. Totally understand. Your Karela is baingan for me. I can eat bhartha but all other types of baingan sabzis I avoid to eat. Something with my childhood may be unpleasant memories and its still there. N on contrary my hubby and my whole family loves eggplant seems like I am the odd one out

Yes during weddings we try everything but at home we don't. Because during weddings sometimes we are not sure what sabji that is...

same ditto, i dont like eggplant. I am fine if its mixed with other veggies but bharta and all no no. Hubby’s fav is baingan haha

My husband likes the thin, long green eggplant sabji. It has less seeds. I buy that.

Stuffed eggplant is nice if made well.

Ho ho ho dish of karela and baingan

U shd take recipes of karela from diet queen Anjali Mehta

Karela ka soup karela ka halwa karela cake

Me too hate karela

My mom used to scrap the skin wash multiple times to get rid of bitterness

The scrapped skin is then stored in freezer

She would take few at a time mix in atta with usual masalas

Uski roti bana deti thi

And surprisingly bthe bitterness was hardly felt

Poora karela khane ko bolo toh i will run in other direction 😂😂
