Description

Experience: Traditional Wellness without the Prep

Key Features
-
Zero-Fuss Prep: Pre-washed and sliced into perfect rounds, eliminating the time spent scraping and cutting this often-tricky vegetable.
-
Authentic Bite: Retains the characteristic bitterness and firm texture that Karela lovers prize in traditional Indian cooking.
-
Health Essential: Widely recognized for its blood-purifying properties and support in managing blood sugar levels.
-
Uniform Slices: Consistent thickness ensures even cooking, whether you are frying them to a crisp or simmering them in a gravy.
Quick Prep
-
Crispy Stir-Fry: Sauté directly from frozen in hot oil with turmeric, salt, and amchur (dry mango powder) until dark and crunchy.
-
Masala Karela: Add frozen slices to a base of sautéed onions and spices; the sweetness of the onions perfectly balances the Karela's bitterness.
-
Reducing Bitterness: If you prefer a milder taste, thaw the slices and rub with a little salt for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the juice before cooking.
Storage & Care
Keep frozen at -18°C. For the best texture, it is recommended to cook directly from frozen. Ensure the bag is sealed airtight to maintain the vegetable’s vibrant flavor and nutritional profile.
Note: Naturally vegan and gluten-free. This 310g pack is ideally portioned for a healthy family-sized side dish.
