Bharwa Karela

INGREDIENTS:
Karele: 11 in number.
Onion: 3 large onions.
Garlic(optional): 14 cloves, fry and grind.
Saunf: 2 tablespoon.
Turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon.
Dhania powder: 3 teaspoon.
Amchur powder: 4 teaspoons
Chiili powder: as per taste.
Salt as per taste.

METHOD:
Peel karelas, make a slit lenght wise and add little salt inside them. Keep in sun for 4-5 hrs or microwave for 2-3 min. Then boil them in pressure cooker for 1/2 whistle (As soon as the pressure is made switch off the gas). After cooling squeeze each one of them between your hands so that all the water is drained and take out the seeds from inside.
Grind all the masalas (Onion, Garlic, saunf, dhania powder, amchur powder, chilli powder) and fry it in little oil till golden brown (15-20 min).
When masala is cool, stuff it in karelas and tie them with thread. Fry them in little oil on sim flame till golden brown. When they are cool cut the thread out.
I know its too much of work, so I try to make it in bulk or I use same masala with chopped karela. But believe me the taste of bharwa karela is worth all the hard work :)
