Bitter gourd and lamb curry, otherwise known as karela gosht or kakaraya curry, is the perfect combination of moist yet tender lamb pieces and bitter yet tasty bitter gourd slices.

Karela, otherwise known as bitter gourd, often gets a bad reputation for its bitter taste. However, I am here to show you that anyone can love karela.
If you haven’t heard of this vegetable, then you are missing out. Bitter gourd is a vegetable that is grown in the sub-tropics. It is usually a dark green colour with knobbly skin. It can have a slightly bitter taste, hence the name.
In order to reduce the bitter taste of the vegetable, I like to brine the karela pieces. The brining allows the salt to draw out the bitter juices. Once you have left the bitter gourd in the brine for a while, remember to squeeze out any of the excess juices completely.
Another way to reduce the bitterness is to scrape the prickly skin off the vegetable and make it smooth.
However, I know some people like the karela to be bitter. It’s up to personal preference. I also like to fry my karela because it allows it to become crispier.
If you’re not a fan of meat or maybe you’re a vegetarian and you want to try this vegetable out, then check out my karela sabzi recipe. It tastes just as good and there is no meat for all you vegans out there!
