Ingredients You’ll Need:

Gather these ingredients to get started:

4 medium-sized bitter gourds
200g paneer (cottage cheese), crumbled
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
2 green chilies, chopped (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Let’s Get Cookin’!

Follow these simple steps to whip up a storm in your kitchen:

Start by washing the bitter gourds thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Don’t worry if they’re a little bitter; we’re gonna tame that flavor!
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, sautéing for about a minute. The aroma is gonna hit different!
Mix in the crumbled paneer, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Stir everything together and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the paneer is heated through. Adjust the spices to suit your palette!
Now, it’s time to stuff those bitter gourds! Carefully fill each half with the paneer mixture, pressing it down gently so it doesn’t fall out.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil and place the stuffed gourds in. Cook on low to medium heat, turning occasionally until they’re golden brown and cooked through, around 10-15 minutes.
Once they’re done, remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot!

And there you have it – a flavorful Stuffed Bitter Gourd dish that will have everyone wanting seconds! This recipe brings a unique blend of spices and textures, making it a delightful addition to your meals. Enjoy your culinary journey!
