Bitter Gourd with Cashew Nuts / Kaju Karela

Kaju Karela (Bitter Gourd with Cashew Nuts) is a popular and tasty Gujarati dish. I tasted this recipe in a meal in a Gujarati Wedding. It tastes unique with a blend of sweet, spicy and tangy taste. It is also a part of the Gujarati Thali in restaurants. Try this unique Kaju Karela.

Ingredients

Bitter Gourd (Karela / Pavakkai) – 300 Gms

Oil – 1 tbsp

Cumin Seed – ½ tsp

Poppy Seeds (Khus Khus) – 1 tsp

Onion – 2 (sliced)

Raisin (Kismis) – 2 tbsp

Cashew Nuts – 2 tbsp

Red Chilli Powder – 1 tsp

Coriander Seed Powder – 1 tsp

Cumin Seed Powder – ½ tsp

Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp

Salt to taste

Grated Jaggery – 2 tbsp (or more as required)

Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp

Method:

Scrape the skin of the Karela lightly and cut into lengthy pieces.

Discard the seeds if they are hard.

Take the Karela in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of Salt and rub the salt to the Karela and mix well. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Squeeze the Karela well with hands and take out the liquid which is formed when it was resting. Wash it well and drain the water. This process helps in reducing the bitterness of the Karela.

Heat 1 tbsp of Oil in a pan. Add the Karela and roast in medium flame till they turn golden brown. Remove and keep aside.

Note:

You can also deep fry the Karela instead of roasting.

Add Cumin Seeds first and allow it to crackle and then add the Poppy Seeds.
