Korela Bhaja (Fried Bitter Melon).
Serve as a starter. Invokes digestion - Very delicious!
Ingredients:
5-6 bitter melon (korela).
Preparation:
Slice the bittermelon (like you would a cucumber) and coat the slices with
turmeric powder and salt. Leave to sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile heat oil for deepfrying in a karai or wok.
Deep fry the slices; some people prefer thicker slices fried til they are just cooked but still green and soft - while others prefer wafer thin slices fried 'til they are crunchy and become dark bitter melon chips. Again you may remove the seeds if you like before eating.
