This Karela Pyaz Sabzi is a simple, homestyle Indian stir-fry made with bitter gourd and onions, balanced with a blend of everyday spices and a touch of jaggery for sweetness. The bitterness of the karela is mellowed by salting and rinsing, while the sautéed onions add a subtle sweetness that complements the earthy spices like coriander, cumin, and amchur. It’s quick to put together, full of flavor, and goes perfectly with roti or rice for a comforting, wholesome meal. If you're looking for a way to enjoy bitter gourd without the overwhelming bitterness, this recipe is definitely worth a try.
