Masala Karela

#spiceweek6 #mustard #karela #bittergourd #vegetable #cookpadindia Karela is a favorite monsoon cum winter vegetable at our place. Usually, we have it made into a dry crunchy Subji but today I have made it into a Masala Karela gravy style with spicy tadka which can be paired with paratha, daal chawal, and enjoyed with an afternoon meal. The taste is awesome!
