About Karela bhaja
Karela Bhaja is a flavorful dish from Indian cuisine, made by slicing and frying bitter gourd (karela) with spices like turmeric, salt, and chili powder. Its preparation varies regionally, often including mustard oil for a distinct aroma, while some versions incorporate onions or garlic for added depth. Bitter gourd is celebrated for its nutritional benefits, being rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and dietary fiber. It is known to support digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, and boost overall immunity. However, the use of oil for frying can add extra calories and reduce its health quotient if consumed excessively. Karela Bhaja balances bitter and spicy flavors, making it a unique side dish that accompanies rice or chapati in traditional Indian meals. For a healthier twist, it can be baked or air-fried while retaining its benefits.
