Karela Peel poori – Crispy poori made with karela peel and spices

Karela Peel Poori- Bitter gourd/Karela is a very healthy vegetable used to control diabetic,cure gastrointestinal diseases and can also kill worms inside our body.It can weaken malaria ,chickenpox and measles bacteria and also have anti cancer properties.
In-spite of its bitter taste it have numerous health benefits so it is advised to include it in your diet.While making karela subzi most of us peel karela and then use to throw its peels,which are also very healthy and full of nutrients.
I rarely peel karelas and try to cook karela along with the skin and if I ever peel them ,then I use the peel to make paratha or poori .

There are many ways to cook karela,some make it stuffed,saute, stir fry it.I have also posted some delicious karela recipe in my blog,If you like karela then check my-

    Hello, I really enjoy drooling over ur recipes. Love that they are onion garlic free. I have pulp leftover from karela juicing and am wondering if I can use this to make these puris. Thank you.
