Stuffed Sour Bitter Melons

So about last night... I made some Stuffed Karelas (Bitter Melons). In our society (Pakistani) cooking them is considered a very tough task and I decided to cook them. Since a year I turned vegetarian I didn't eat them. I wanted them so bad. So, with my own 16 year old mind I thought to make up my own recipe and cook them. But DAng! I forgot to snap a picture! Here is what I did:

Ingredients For Stuffing:

• 1 Medium Potato (Cut into small pieces and boiled)
• 2 Medium Tomatoes
• 1 Tsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 2 Tsp Tamarind Paste
• 2 Cubes Cheese
• 4 pinches Red Chilli Pepper Powder

Directions for Stuffing:

1. Add Olive Oil in a pan and add potatoes and tomatoes in it.
2. Add Salt, Garic Powder, Tamarind, Red Chilli Pepper Powder and Cheese.
3. Stir and mash the potatoes.
4. Stir for 5 minutes and add water if neccessary.
5. Remove from fire and let cool.

Ingredients for Karelas (Bitter Melon):

• 5 - 6 Medium Karele (Bitter Melon) - peeled, with a 3 inch cut so we be ble to stuff it, seeds taken out.
• 2 Large Onions (Chopped)
• 1 Cup youghurt.
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 1/4 Tsp Curry powder
• 1/4 Tsp Red Chilli Pepper
• 4 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 cup water

Directions:

1. Add the stuffing to karelas and tie them with thread.
2. Fry them in 2 Tbsp oil until yellow-green.
3. Set aside.
4. Add 2 Tbsp Oil in a cooking bowl and add onions in it.
5. Add salt, curry powder, red chilli pepper and the remaining stuffing in it with 1/2 cup water.
6. Cover and cook until water is reduced to almost no water.
7. Add yoghurt and stir.
8. Add 1/2 cup water.
9. Add karelas and cover and cook until the desired thickness of the masala.
10. Serve with roti bread or buns or spoons ;)
