Thread for tying the Karela

Method

Scrape the Karelas. Slit them and remove the seeds. Mis 2 tbs turmeric and 1/2 tbsp salt, apply this mix on the karelas and leave it for 2 hrs. Now wash them thoroughly (The turmeri and slat mix helps in removing the bitterness fro the karelas).

Take another bowl and add chopped onions, powdered saunf, amchur, salt, coriander and chilly powder. Put 1 tbsp of oil and mix well (Be careful with the quantity of salt because there would still be some amount of salt left in karela skins)

Now stuff the karelas with the above  mix and tie them with a thread so that they don't open while cooking. Heat oil in a pan and add the karelas cook them well for about 10--15 mins with the lid on. Keep turning them at regular intervals so that they are not overcooked.
Karelas are ready to be served (Remove the thread before serving).
