Crispy Karela
Serves : 4 people

Ingredients
4 to 5 medium size bottle gourd (Karela)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons red chilli powder ( 1 spoon if less spicy)
2 to 3 teaspoons olive oil ( as per the quantity of karelas)


Method
Slice the karelas in thin roundles and wash the same with water. Drain the water completely, add salt and keep it away for 15 to 20 mins. After 20 mins add red chilli powder and olive oil. mix the ingredients well. Bake the Karela for 5 -7 mins in microwave oven. If its not cooked, still further bake it for another 2 to 3 mins. Ensure you don't burn the karelas. Once they turn crispy, remove it from the oven and serve while eating.
