Kar(ela)oge toh bharoge!

Had been to a friend's place for a mommies and kiddies pool and pizza party. It was my son's first time in a swimming pool and he was absolutely besotted! Just did not want to come out of the pool. Had a tough time getting him out of there. So as a result had no energy and will to do anything. And today I had decided to make the Stuffed Karelas. Bad choice! Now hardly have the energy to blog about it....

Stuffed karela and Brinjal rice

Stuffed Karela

Bitter gourd cut in half and slit 4 ways

1 cup ground nuts roasted

10 cloves of garlic

1 tsp chilli pd

Salt to taste

Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the karela pieces till they are cooked through and turn brown on the outside (you could sprinkle water and cover and cook in between to speed up the cooking process. Alternatively you could deep fry them) Remove and cool.

Grind the roasted ground nuts with garlic and salt and chilli pd to a coarse powder. Fill this mixture in to the cooked karelas.

Word of caution: Only make this recipe when you have decided to spend some time in isolation or you have really strong mouth rinse at hand!!

See you all tomorrow.
