Thinly sliced karela transforms into golden, crunchy chips with a bold, salty-spicy kick, minus the harsh bitterness. Each bite feels light, crisp, and surprisingly snackable, perfect with chai when you want something different yet irresistible.
2 thinly sliced karela 1 tsp salt ½ tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp red chilli powder 2 tbsp rice flour Oil for frying
Rub salt into the sliced karela and leave it aside for 15 minutes, then rinse lightly and dry well.
Coat the slices with turmeric, red chilli powder, and rice flour evenly.
Heat the oil and fry the slices in batches on medium heat.
Keep turning until they turn crisp and golden brown.
Remove onto paper and serve hot for maximum crunch.
