For the stuffing:
In a pan heat some oil .add jeera ,hing and abt 2 tbsp of gram flour.roast this on a medium flame till the raw smell goes.now add 2 tsp dhania pd,2 tsp saunf pd,turmeric pd,2 tsp chili pd, stir it a bit and then add the karela scrapings, amchur pd and salt .fry till it softens for abt 3 min.remove from heat and allow to cool.
Squeeze out all the water from the karelas and stuff the ready mix into the slit karelas.In a nonstick pan heat 3 tbsp oil and then arrange the stuffed karelas in it.cover and cook on low flame turning it often so that all the sides becomes evenly browned and crisp.
