I had planned to try the recipe for Karela Muthia | Steamed Bitter Gourd Dumplings for ages and found the perfect opportunity this month when I had to cook with an ingredient whose English name began with B for the A to Z cooking Challenge.

Karela Muthia
Karela or Bitter Gourd is a vegetable that you cannot ignore or just tolerate. You either love its strong bitter taste or then you simply hate it. I, for one, love it but for some strange reason my love for Karela is not showcased on this blog and I have set about rectifying it. I have just the recipes for Kakarakaya Kobbari Endu Kobbari Kharam | Andhra Karela in Dry Coconut (Kopra) Masala, Kakarakaya Vepudu | Bitter Gourd Stir-fry and Kerala Pavakka Theeyal on the blog as of now.
There are several things that I loved about Karela Muthias is that the flavour of bitter gourd comes through without overpowering the palate. In fact, people realise that you have used bitter gourd only after a few seconds and that can come as quite a surprise. Moreover, this simple recipe uses loads of karela; I used 200 gms to make about 20 muthiyas. Of course, this is also a diabetic friendly recipe. 🙂
Do also try my recipe for Steamed Methi Muthias.
These Karela Muthias can be used as a side for a regular meal or then as a tea-time snack. I served them with Chundo and the sweet-sour taste of this Gujarati mango relish paired well with the bitterness of the Karela Muthia.
I used Tarla Dalal’s recipe for Karela Muthia as the base for my dish. I made mine with no onions or garlic.
