How To Prepare Healthy Murela Vegetable At Home

First, nicely wash and clean the Murela with water. Then, cut the vegetables into small pieces. When cut, it looks very similar to bitter gourd.

After cutting, apply salt to this vegetable and leave it for at least 2 hours. This will extract its excess water, and it will also become slightly tender. Afterwards, rinse it 2 to 3 times with water again.

Now, heat the oil in a pan. Add the cut Murela and sauté it well. Sautéing enhances its flavour and ensures it cooks properly. After around 10 minutes of sautéing or once it’s 80 per cent cooked, remove it from the pan and keep it elsewhere.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add half a teaspoon of cumin seeds and a pinch of asafoetida. Then add dried whole red chillies. Also, add one or two chopped green chillies. You can adjust the amount of chillies to your taste.

After that, add 2 to 3 chopped onions. Once the onions turn slightly pinkish, add dry spices like one teaspoon of coriander, half a teaspoon of black pepper, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, and one teaspoon of fennel powder.

Stir and sauté the spices well. If you wish, you can add a little water to ensure the spices are well-cooked.
