STUFFED KARELA
Karela or kakarkai or bitter gourd is my favourite vegetable. I love it in which ever form it is cooked . I generally make stuffed karela . My mom used to fry it for me every other day when I was in India whenever I was in my mothers place . In my mother in laws place we used to make it on our disposal ….
