Even
though if you are not a karela admirer, I encourage you to try this recipe. I
won't promise you that this doesn't taste bitter but it is surely a likable
one. Especially, if you're a dessert person and consume sweets regularly and
you think karela is not your thing and I know it's a task to eat it. But
let me tell you, bitter is better for your health.. And to all the karela
lovers, do I convince you?! Just jump into the recipe, get into your
kitchens and make it, and enjoy it.. Oh yeah! with the dal chawal, I say! Also, feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste. These tasted perfect for me. Add more if you want them to be spicy.

Tip : Use high smoke point oil for any recipe that calls for deep frying.
In India, this would refer to canola oil and groundnut oil (use unrefined)
Why use Use high smoke point oils?
Well, the higher the fatty acid content, the better it performs and it's the healthy way.
Enjoy!
