Your best karelay recipe
Cut karele into small-ish pieces. Rub with salt n leave for a couple of hours. Then fry karele in oil for approx 30 mins. Add salt n spices to ur personal taste, add chopped onion n tomato n fry for further 20 mins or so. Simple recipe but taste is divine!

Re: Your best karelay recipe
The only way I like eating karelay is when they are stuffed with keema and fried. I don't care too much for the other version/s.
Re: Your best karelay recipe
Same here I love stuffed kareley, I made them over the summer, I have a picture I will upload later...
Re: Your best karelay recipe
i love qeeme bhare karele too but it must NOT be overly bitter! :)
Re: Your best karelay recipe
I fry onions and karelay separately. Then throw yogurt, turmeric, some achar gosht masala, kalonji, and red chilli pepper and boonify it. Add onions, karely, and water together and pray that it goes tender in time 
never tasted it myself so cant say if it turns out good or not

Rub salt on cut up karelay and leave them for a while. The salt pulls out the juices and decreases the bitterness. Wash out the salt before cooking.

So are karelay juice bitter? If salt pulls out juice would bitterness still not remain unless salt washed away. Or does salt +juice take awayq bitterness.

I make karailey with channey ki daal. I think I posted the recipe once earlier

The bitterness comes out with the juices/fliud/water that gets pulled out by the salt. So the liquid will be bitter. Once you wash off the salt and excess juice that has come out the karelay will be substantially less bitter but not completely.

^ makes sense. Learnt something new!
Re: Your best karelay recipe
Niksik, I love Karelay with chana daal .. thats the only way I can consume karela’s ..
Last year was the first time I ever experienced Keema filled karela’s. Didnt like them at all. They were quite stretchy kind, I thought they would have been really soft, but no , they were like a rubbery texture … everyone said thats how its supposed to be and they all loved it !
Oh and because I had never heard of this stuff before, I didnt know that they wrap the karela with a thread and you are supposed to remove that thread before eating it:emmy: .. All the while i kept thinking it was an edible thread ! so embarrasing!

Chana daal with karele are so yummy, we add potatoes to it too tho
Couple of days ago I made karela with channa daal. And for the first I made keema karele (salan) today. Everyone loved it!!
Re: Your best karelay recipe
My DH loves karaila; the more bitter the better!
He makes it himself. Gets the smallest karaila, slices up into rounds with seeds included.
Make a masala mixture of fried onions, tomatoes, normal spices. Throw in the karaila. Cook, serve (he eats with roti/bread)
Myself and the rest of the family are so not karaila folks..sooo kinda stay away from it.
Re: Your best karelay recipe
kerele are my ultimate fav vege. i dont leave them in salt water as i like the bitterness . neither do i peel the skin.
Re: Your best karelay recipe
Suddenly dawned on me - karela is mango correct? Bitterer the betterer, IMO.
