Crispy bitter gourd and potato or aloo karela. Crispy but cooked with only one teaspoon oil in halogen oven. You can also use your microwave or OTG to bake or grill the karela and potato in the same way. Or use your air fryer to fry with less oil. An easy to make yet delicious no onion garlic bitter gourd recipe.

Bitter gourd has numerous health benefits.

Bitter gourd is a rich source of vitamins and minerals. It contains iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamins like A and C. It contains twice the calcium of spinach and beta-carotene of broccoli. Various anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds are present in bitter gourd.
It also helps in lowering the bad cholesterol levels, thus reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. That’s not all. It strengthens the immune system, improves respiratory health, boosts skin health and contains anti-ageing properties. Source

Recipe is very easy to make. Slice the potato and bitter gourd and boil with salted water till fork tender. Drain the water completely and marinate with salt and spices. I have used coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder and little garam masala with salt. You can use any spices of your choice. I don’t like bitter gourd dishes hot so used Kashmiri red chilli powder for colour. You can use hot variety red chilli powder or black pepper powder if you like. You can also add amchur or dry mango powder if you want. And use very little oil to spray over marinated potato and bitter gourd before baking. You can use olive oil or any other oil of your choice.

9. If you are using microwave convection mode or OTG follow the same method. Sprinkle little chaat masala powder before serving if you like. Serve with rice or roti as a side dish.

Notes

1. You can use any spices of your choice.

2. Red chilli powder or black pepper powder can be used instead of Kashmiri red chilli powder.

    Aloo and karela are a match made in heaven. 🙂 I love this crispy curry that uses both, and especially the fact that just 1 teaspoon of oil has been used. Thank you for this brilliant recipe!

    A simple and crispy preparation, I think I would pick out all the potato slices and leave the bitter gourd ones for hubby 🙂 On a serious note, its such a lovely way to prepare bitter gourd. Will have to try the recipe out.

    Baked Karela and aloo is a delicious treat for all karela lovers. I make a slightly spicier version for my family as they love Karela. Loved your version as less oil is used.

    Firstly loved the combination of potato and bitter gourd di, the way you prepared this with very less oil. veggies marinated in spices surely made this yummy, love to have as it is or with curd rice.

    Love the baked bitter gourd and potato. Perfect to enjoy without guilt. I sometimes chop them finely and make stir fry. This looks like good alternative and less oil too
