Ingredients
To make Karele, you'll need:
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 medium karele (or bitter gourd)
- 1 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- ½ tsp. garam masala
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tsp. fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- Salad, to serve as a side
Method
- Sprinkle some salt on the karele and leave overnight. This removes a lot of their water content.
- The next day, peel the hard skin off, and slice the karele into round slices.
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C.
- Pop the turmeric, chilli, garam masala, lemon juice, coriander and vegetable oil in a bowl.
- Mix in the slices of karele and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Bake the karele slices for 12 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 12 minutes until crisp.
- The dish is ready to serve with a side of salad!
