This unique and flavourful kadhi made of karela peels is a great combination for plain rice as well as khichdi. Although you might worry about the bitterness, you will be surprised to know that when cooked in the typical curd-besan base, the bitterness turns out to be quite pleasant to the palate. Plus, the addition of pungent ingredients like garlic, onions and asafoetida gives the Karela Peel Kadhi a strong and tempting aroma too. Indeed, an easy and interesting way to include the goodness of karela in your diet.
