    Karela is also known as Bitter melon is slightly bitter in taste, and most of the people either love it or not. I am from the first group, I love it in all forms…Yupp! Even the juice. Some eat karela because they like the taste and some because it is quite healthy. I will talk about health benefits in later part of this post.

    As I said I love karela so and everything about it. DO you know you can use it’s peel too? You can use karele ke chilke in making poori or paratha dough. There is some sweet that is made using karele ke chilke. Then there is Karele ke chilke ki bhujia a sabzi that my mother makes. Today I am sharing the same recipe but with one change I added chopped potatoes as well.
