Steps

1To begin making the Bharwa Karela with Sweet Potato Filling Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep ready.
2Lightly peel the skin karelas/bitter gourd , cut into 1 inch cylinders and Scoop out and discard seeds and pulp to fill the sweet potato masala. Sprinkle salt and turmeric to remove the bitterness. Let it rest for 20-25 minutes.
3To prepare the sweet potato masala. Pressure cook the peeled sweet potato in a pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and cook for 3 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once cooled, peel the skin and either grate or mash the potato.
4Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat; add ginger and allow it to soften for few seconds. Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies and sprinkle with salt. Allow the tomatoes turn mushy.
5Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, chat masala, garam masala and salt. Mix everything to be incorporated well.
6Cook for at least 2 minutes until the flavours come through. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.
7Now fill the karelas with potato masala filling tightly.
8Heat a wide pan with the oil; place the Bharwa Karela with Sweet Potato Filling and pan fry the karela until it is cooked and has brown spots.
9Cover the pan and cook, so the steam helps it cook faster. Once done, you can sprinkle a little more chaat masala and serve hot.
10Serve the Bharwa Karela with Sweet Potato Filling Recipe along with Panchmel Dal and Phulka for an everyday meal.
