Karela paratha– Paratha stuffed with bitter gourd peel and Indian spices

Karela Paratha -bitter gourd is a summer special vegetable though now all the vegetables are available in all seasons but seasonal vegetable taste best. As the Bitter gourd taste slightly bitter so many people dislike having it but there are so many who loves karela in any form either it is Bharwa karela , karela kachri or Achari karela sabzi .

I am a big fan of karela and loves it in any form ,the peel of karela also have a lot of nutrients so I never throw the karela peel ,either I stuff it in the karela or make karela peel poori ,karela bhajiya .

Few days back I made this delicious –Stuffed tangy karela and the left over karela peel was used to make this stuffed karela partha and every one at home just loved it.

    This recipe is actually worth the try and I would love to try this at home. I will choose to make this recipe this Sunday and I am hoping that it would turn out well. I will be using organic bitter gourds since my family only prefers buying organic food items online.
