How to Make Stuffed Karela With Onion Masala

• For the masala, add all the ingredients (onion, garlic, dhania, jeera, dry chillies) in the blender and grind them to a fine paste.
• Fry the paste in a pan using required amount of oil. Add salt to the paste. Keep aside.
• Wash karelas properly and cut them at both ends in such a way that you can stuff the masala. The karelas should not be cut completely, they should remain whole.
• After cutting, keep the karelas in microwaveable plate and microwave them for about 5 mins. They will become a little tender.
• If you don't have a microwave, you can directly start frying the karelas.
• Now take a pan and place it on the stove. Add oil and fry the karelas till they are cooked (you can also deep fry them.)
• Take out the karelas from the pan and let them cool for some time.
• Now, stuff the fried masala paste in the fried karelas. Don't break the karelas.
• Fry the stuffed karelas again for about 5-10 mins on a low flame, depending on how deeply you want to fry them.
• If you have any paste remaining, add that in as well. Fry till they are done.
