About Karela fry

Karela Fry is a traditional dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian households. Made with slices of bitter gourd (karela), it is stir-fried with spices such as turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander, often enhanced with onions, garlic, or garnishing like sesame seeds. Despite its naturally bitter taste, it’s widely cherished for its health benefits. Bitter gourd is rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like potassium and iron. It’s known for aiding digestion, supporting blood sugar regulation, and boosting immunity. However, karela’s bitterness can sometimes be intensified in this preparation method, making it an acquired taste. While Karela Fry is often cooked with oil, moderation is key to keep it heart-healthy. Versatile and nutrient-packed, Karela Fry stands as both a flavorful side dish and a wholesome addition to balanced meals.
