Step 1

Rinse and then peel karela. Then chop in small pieces.

Step 2

Remove the seeds while chopping. If the karela is small and tender, then these will have tender seeds and they cannot be removed.

Step 3

If karela is very bitter, then add some salt on chopped karela pieces. Mix very well and allow this mixture to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Then squeeze the karela and rinse them very well in water again. This will get rid of some bitterness from the karela.

Step 4

In a kadai or pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil. You can use any neutral flavored oil.

Step 5

Let the oil become hot. Then reduce the heat to a low and add the chopped karela.

Step 6

Mix chopped karela with oil and sauté on a low to medium-low flame. Stir often while sautéing.

Step 7

Sauté the karela for 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 8

Then add thinly sliced onions.

Step 9

Mix the sliced onions with the karela.

Step 10

Sprinkle turmeric powder, kashmiri red chili powder and salt as per taste. Mix very well.

Step 11

On a low heat continue to sauté stirring often. Sprinkle some water if onion or karela starts sticking to pan. Mix and deglaze removing any bits stuck to the pan and continue to saute.

Step 12

Sauté the karela sabji for 10 to 12 minutes till the both the karela and onions are cooked. The onions will also become golden and caramelize by this time. Keep on stirring often.

Step 13

When the onions have lightly caramelize and the bitter gourd pieces are tender and soft, sprinkle dry mango powder and garam masala.

Step 14

Mix very well and then switch off the heat.

Step 15

Serve karela sabzi with phulka, paratha and a bowl of fresh plain curd or sweetened curd. This bitter gourd curry also goes very well as a side vegetable dish or accompaniment with the combination of dal rice or kadhi chawal. You can garnish with some coriander leaves if you want.

Step 16

It can be packed for lunch box with a side of paratha or roti.½
