Bharvaan Karela-Stuffed Bitter Melon-Stuffed Bitter Gourd Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Bitter gourd just has to be my least favorite vegetable. Inspite of this, i have to admit it is one of those "Good for you" Foods In india, karela (bitter gourd/melon) is often prescribed to those with diabetes as it is believed to have properties that lower blood sugar levels. It is also thought to be an excellent blood purifier and also often used to treat problems like acne. In this recipe, the karela (bitter gourd/melon) is stuffed with a tangy filling The best part? The bitterness of the karela is more or less removed with a 'special treatment'
