Karela Kachri is a unique and flavorful snack made from bitter gourd (karela). This traditional Indian dish transforms the often-maligned bitter gourd into a delicious, crispy treat. The bitterness of the gourd is balanced with spices and gram flour, making it a favorite for those who appreciate bold, complex flavors.

Put in hot water to make vegetables.

For pickles, you can heat oil on medium flavor and fry and eat.
