Bharwan Karela

Wash the Bitter gourd thoroughly. Peel the skin lightly, then make a lengthwise slit in each Bitter gourd, being careful not to cut all the way through. Scoop out the seeds and inner pulp.

Rub 10 grams of Salt generously inside and outside each Bitter gourd. Let them rest for 30 minutes to draw out bitterness.

After 30 minutes, rinse the Bitter gourd under cold running water several times to remove excess salt and bitterness. Squeeze gently to remove water and pat dry completely with a kitchen towel.
