Karela Kosumbari is a dish very often made by my Mom. Simple and tasty, its a must try for karela/bittergourd lovers.
Ingredients
Karela/Bittergourd, chopped fine - 2
Red Onion, chopped fine - 1 small
Fresh/Frozen grated coconut - 1/4 cup
Green chillies, chopped fine - 2, or as per your taste
Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Oil
Method
- Sprinkle salt over the chopped karela pieces, mix well and set it aside for about 30 minutes.
- Now, squeeze out the extra water from the karela pieces.
- Heat a tawa/griddle, add about a tbsp of oil and spread the karela pieces evenly so that most of them are lying on the hot surface. On a very low flame, let them fry till they turn brown in color and slightly crisp. Keep tossing so that they are evenly browned on all sides.
- In a bowl, take the grated coconut, chopped onions, green chillies, and salt ( remember karela pieces already have the salt, so add accordingly)and mix nicely using your fingers.
- To this, add the fried karela mixture, add lemon juice, mix well and serve immediately as a side with rice and some curry.
Note :
- Eat this kosumbari fresh. Leftovers of it will get soggy.
- Crispier the fried karela, tastier is the kosumbari here. My picture here shows the Karela not too much fried, I realised after mixing everything.
