Now, how can you cook it healthy?
Instead of deep-frying, use an air fryer.
Cook 2 small onions and garlic ginger paste as needed on the nonstick pan until it turns golden brown. Then add your favorite spices such as cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, Himalayan salt, garam masala. Once you have the stuffing ready you can fill that in Karela and put it in the air fryer, Some people sew it, I just put it right away.
Preheat the air fryer at 390 F for 5 minutes and then add Karela to it. Cook them for around 6-8 minutes, until it turns golden brown. Check every 5 minutes. There is Karela's are ready to eat. You can also remove seeds as they are quite bitter, and apply some salt to reduce the bitterness. Some people add jaggery to it as well. I prefer the cook with minimal spices.
