Masala stuffed karela or bitter melon curry (karela nu bharelu shak) Recipe
Recipe By Better Butter
Karela is also known as bitter melon or bitter gourd. It grows in tropical areas like east africa and asia. There are several species of karela. I used the course and rough looking ones for my recipe. Karelas are supposed to be very good for diabetics – however if you use my masala stuffed karela or bitter melon curry recipe for a diabetic, please exclude the jaggery. This recipe is a great favourite of mine.
