I regret not learning to cook from my parents.

So now I go by trial and error!

That's good, you'll be more flexible with combining ingredients. More room for culinary creativity

Here's my trial-error recipe.

Base - chopped garlic, green chillis, onions, and anardana seeds powder/dried seeds .. add the sliced and emptied karelas .. and fry slowly. The karelas will take a long time. Turn occasionally. It's ok if they go charred. Add chopped real tomatos later.

Use a spoon to stuff the empty karelas with what you softened above. Cook more.

Finally fresh coriander, fragile so do last.

Serve with yoghurt and fresh pomegranate seeds and bread (roti, naan).

Wonderful idea to combine yoghurt and pomegranate with Karela, to enhance the bitterness with a slight tanginess and sweetness

I forgot - add your favourite spice mix to the fried veges .. the usual mix of salt, red chilli, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, citric acid, methi leaves, carom, cloves..

I use the Shan Vegetable Masala .. about 2-3 teaspoons and then also add hot red chilli powder as I prefer it.

@rzeta0 yes the garam masala
