Ingredients
- 3 To 5 Medium Thin Karela (Bitter Gourds)
- 4 To 5 Medium Potatoes
- 1.5 Tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 Tbsp Ginger Paste
- 1 Small Finely Chopped Onion
- Chopped Green Coriander
- 2 Tbsp Amchur (Dried Mango Powder)
- ½ Tbsp HeriMore Red Hot Chilli Powder
- 3-4 Tbsp HeriMore Dry & Stuff Veg Masala
- Salt To Taste
- 3 To 4 Tbsp Cooking Oil (Mustard Oil Preferred)
Instructions
Step 1:
Peel the outer covering of the karelas and potatoes. Rub salt all over the karelas and let them sit for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the bitterness to mellow.
Step 2:
In a bowl, combine 3 to 4 tbsp of HeriMore Dry & Stuff Veg Masala, garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped onion, green coriander, salt to taste, HeriMore Red Hot Chilli Powder, 1 tbsp of amchur, and 1 tbsp of oil. This vibrant mixture is your secret weapon to transform the vegetables into a flavour-packed delight.
Step 3:
Make a vertical slit in each karela and potato, then generously stuff them with the aromatic masala mixture, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavour. Next, in a thick-bottomed pan or kadhai, heat 3 to 4 tbsp of oil (mustard oil adds a rich depth). Gently place the stuffed karela and potatoes in the oil. Sprinkle a little salt and remaining amchur powder over them, cover with lid, and let them cook on low to medium flame until they become tender and soak up the flavours.
Step 4:
Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the flame to medium-high. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden crisp on the outside. Keep turning the karela and potatoes occasionally to ensure even browning and delightful crunch. Your Dry and Stuffed Aloo Karela Sabzi is ready to dazzle! Serve it piping hot alongside fluffy parathas or warm rotis, and watch it become the star of your meal.
Pro Tips: Carefully balance the salt since both the stuffing and the sprinkled salt contribute to the overall flavour. If you prefer a garlic-free and onion-free version, feel free to skip them.
