🥒 Stuffed Karela with Soya Granules | Bitter Never Tasted This Good 💚 Today I’m sharing one of my absolute favourite ways to cook Stuffed Bitter Gourd (Karela) — filled with a delicious, spicy soya granules stuffing and simmered in a flavourful base curry. If you think karela is too bitter… this recipe will completely change your mind! 🌿 Preparing the Bitter Gourd I start by washing the karela, lightly scraping the skin, and making a slit in the centre. Carefully remove the seeds using the handle of a spoon (so you don’t hurt your nail bed). Then rub inside and out with: 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp turmeric (haldi) Rest for 20–30 minutes. ✨ Turmeric helps retain colour and acts as an antiseptic, while salt draws out extra bitterness. Rinse well and drain. 🌶 Masala for the Stuffing Here’s what goes into the spice mix: 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chilli powder 1 tbsp amchur powder 1 tbsp coriander seeds 1 tbsp fennel seeds 1 tbsp nigella seeds (kalonji) 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste ¼ tsp turmeric ¼ tsp hing Salt to taste Cooked in mustard oil for that authentic flavour. 🔥 Roasting & Grinding Whole Spices Dry roast coriander, fennel, and nigella seeds for about 10 seconds until warm and aromatic. Cool completely and grind in pulse mode. 🌱 Preparing the Soya Granules Boil water with: 1 tsp turmeric ½ tsp salt Add soya granules, bring to a rolling boil, switch off, and soak for 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and squeeze well. Then soak in: 6 tbsp milk 🥛 This gives a creamy flavour and prevents the stuffing from turning dry after frying. 🍳 Cooking the Stuffing In hot mustard oil: Add onions + hing Add ginger garlic paste and cook well Lower the flame and add all spice powders Stir in the roasted ground masala At this stage, you can either stuff directly OR… Add the soya granules and cook on low flame for 10 minutes. Add: ¼ cup milk This keeps the stuffing soft and rich. Cool completely before stuffing. 🧵 Stuffing & Tying the Karela Fill each karela generously, press it together, and tie with thread (2 wraps + knot) so it stays closed while frying. Pretty little stuffed karelas ready to cook! 🍲 Frying + Base Curry Finish Fry in about 3 tbsp mustard oil until light golden. Then: Remove karela Add remaining soya masala to the pan Add ½ cup water and bring to a boil Add the fried karela back into the curry. Cover and cook: 5 minutes gentle boil Then 15 minutes on low flame To check doneness: pierce with a knife — smooth entry means perfectly cooked. 🍽 Serving Suggestions This dish tastes amazing with: Chapati / Phulka Paratha Plain dal (fika dal) Steamed rice If you enjoyed this recipe, don’t forget to like, comment, share and subscribe 💚 Bitter never tasted this good! #StuffedKarela #BitterGourdRecipe #SoyaGranules #HealthyIndianCooking #KarelaCurry
