Sweet and Sour Karela Recipe.
Mummy's Sweet and Sour Karela Recipe. Slice 2 bittergourd add salt marinate for an hour wash out the salt and then ready to cook. (You can skip this step if you like the bitterness of the karela) Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan. Put a pinch of cumin in the hot oil, add a tsp of ginger-garlic paste, ½ tsp haldi, 1 tsp chilly powder(or more depending on how much spice you like), ½ tsp cumin powder and ¼ cup of thick tamarind juice When it comes to a boil add the bittergourd Slice 2 onions salt and some 5-6 garlic cloves, add to the bittergourd when half cooked When it is almost dried up add a little jaggery so that it gets a glassy effect. I have not tried this recipe, nor have I tasted it. But this was my dad's favourite way to have karela. And many others who have had this have asked my mum for the recipe.
